[0001] This invention relates to new biocidal compounds and to a process for their preparation. More particularly it relates to biocidal compounds which may be obtained by cultivation of Streptomyces organisms; to the use of said compounds as biocides; to compositions containing a biocidally effective amount of said compounds; a method of combating pathogens using said compounds; a new strain of Streptomyces malaysiensis and mutants thereof. [0002] In a first aspect the invention provides a new biocidal compound of formula (I) wherein R is H or CH.sub.3. [0003] The compound where R is H and the compound where R is CH.sub.3 are novel compounds not previously isolated. They are characterised by the nmr and mass spectroscopy data provided in the examples herein. They may be prepared by growing under controlled conditions, a previously unknown strain of micro-organism from the species Streptomyces malaysiensis. The compounds of the invention have biocidal activity and, in particular, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-cancer activity and are of special interest for use in agriculture, horticulture, animal and human health. The compounds may also be of use as intermediates in the preparation of further active compounds. The compounds of formula (I) may be obtained by fermentation and recovered in substantially pure form as described herein. [0004] The compounds of formula (I) have six asymmetric centres and may exist in the form of one or more isomers. The invention includes all isomers, individually or in a mixture of one or more forms. The compounds of the invention may exist in several tautomeric forms and the invention extends to all forms. [0005] Of particular interest are the compounds of formulae (II) and (III), which are here named malayamycin A and desmethylmalayamycin A, respectively. [0006] The compounds of formulae (II) and (III) may exist in alternative tautomeric forms and the invention extends to said alternative forms. [0007] The compounds of formula (I) are biocidal agents. They are active antiviral agents showing for example antiviral activity against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus associated with the disease AIDS. They have also been shown to have anti-cancer properties. For example they show an in inhibitory effect on the cell proliferation of cancer cells. As used herein the term biocidal is used to cover activity against pathogens and includes antiviral, antifungal and anticancer activity. The use of the compounds as antifungal agents, particularly against plant pathogenic fungi, is of particular interest.

and fungal vectors of viral diseases (for example Polymyxa graminis on cereals as the vector of barley yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) and Polymyxa betae on sugar beet as the vector of rhizomania). [0009] The compounds of formula (I) may move acropetally, basipetally or locally in plant tissue to be active against one or more fungi. [0010] The invention therefore provides a method of combating or controlling phytopathogenic fungi which comprises applying a fungicidally effective amount of a compound of formula (I), or a composition containing a compound of formula (I), to a plant, to a seed of a plant, to the locus of the plant or seed or to soil or any other plant growth medium, e.g. nutrient solution. [0011] The term "plant" as used herein includes seedlings, bushes and trees. Furthermore, the fungicidal method of the invention includes protectant, curative, systemic, eradicant and antisporulant treatments. [0012] The compounds of formula (I) are preferably used for agricultural, horticultural and turfgrass purposes in the form of a composition. [0013] In order to apply a compound of formula (I) to a plant, to a seed of a plant, to the locus of the plant or seed or to soil or any other growth medium, a compound of formula (I) is usually formulated into a composition which includes, in addition to the compound of formula (I), a suitable inert diluent or carrier and, optionally, a surface active agent (SFA). SFAs are chemicals which are able to modify the properties of an interface (for example, liquid/solid, liquid/air or liquid/liquid interfaces) by lowering the interfacial tension and thereby leading to changes in other properties (for example dispersion, emulsification and wetting). It is preferred that all compositions (both solid and liquid formulations) comprise, by weight, 0.0001 to 95%, more preferably 1 to 85%, for example 5 to 60%, of a compound of formula (I). The composition is generally used for the control of fungi such that a compound of formula (I) is applied at a rate of from 0.1 g to 10 kg per hectare, preferably from 1 g to 6 kg per hectare, more preferably from 1 g to 1 kg per hectare. [0014] When used in a seed dressing, a compound of formula (I) is used at a rate of 0.0001 g to 10 g (for example 0.001 g or 0.05 g), preferably 0.005 g to 10 g, more preferably 0.005 g to 4 g, per kilogram of seed. [0015] In another aspect the present invention provides a biocidal composition comprising a biocidally effective amount of a compound of formula (I) and a suitable carrier or diluent therefor. [0016] In a preferred embodiment of this aspect the present invention provides an antiviral composition comprising an antivirally effective amount of a compound of formula (I) and a suitable carrier or diluent therefor. [0017] In a further preferred embodiment of this aspect the present invention provides an anti-cancer composition comprising an effective amount of a compound of formula (I) which is effective in reducing the proliferation of cancer cells and a suitable carrier or diluent therefor. [0018] In a particularly preferred embodiment of this aspect the present invention provides a fungicidal composition comprising a fungicidally effective amount of a compound of formula (I) and a suitable carrier or diluent therefor. [0019] In a still further aspect the invention provides a method of combating and controlling viruses which comprises treating the viruses or the locus of the viruses with an antivirally effective amount of a composition comprising a compound of formula (I). [0020] In a still further aspect the invention provides a method of combating and controlling cancer cells which comprises treating the cancer cells or the locus of the cancer cells with an effective amount of a composition comprising a compound of formula (I) said amount being effective in reducing the proliferation of said cancer cells. [0021] In a still further preferred aspect the invention provides a method of combating and controlling fungi which comprises treating the fungi or the locus of the fungi with a fungicidally effective amount of a composition comprising a compound of formula (I). [0022] The compositions can be chosen from a number of formulation types, including dustable powders (DP), soluble powders (SP), water soluble granules (SG), water dispersible granules (WG), wettable powders (WP), granules (GR) (slow or fast release), soluble concentrates (SL), oil miscible liquids (OL), ultra low volume liquids (UL), emulsifiable concentrates (EC), dispersible concentrates (DC), emulsions (both oil in water (EW) and water in oil (EO)), micro-emulsions (ME), suspension concentrates (SC), aerosols, fogging/smoke formulations, capsule suspensions (CS) and seed treatment formulations. The formulation type chosen in any instance will depend upon the particular purpose envisaged and the physical, chemical and biological properties of the compound of formula (I). [0023] Dustable powders (DP) may be prepared by mixing a compound of formula (I) with one or more solid diluents (for example natural clays, kaolin, pyrophyllite, bentonite, alumina, montmorillonite, kieselguhr, chalk, diatomaceous earths, calcium phosphates, calcium and magnesium carbonates, sulphur, lime, flours, talc and other organic and inorganic solid carriers) and mechanically grinding the mixture to a fine powder. [0024] Soluble powders (SP) may be prepared by mixing a compound of formula (I) with one or more water-soluble inorganic salts (such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate or magnesium sulphate) or one or more water-soluble organic solids (such as a polysaccharide) and, optionally, one or more wetting agents, one or more dispersing agents or a mixture of said agents to improve water dispersibility/solubility. The mixture is then ground to a fine powder. Similar compositions may also be granulated to form water soluble granules (SG). Continue reading...
