Tavaborole (Kerydin) is a boron-containing small molecule antifungal agent with broad-spectrum activity against filamentous fungi, including both mold and yeast.

Jervinone, an alkaloid metabolite derived from Veratrum, is isolated from the mold Cunninghamella echinulata [1].

Epsilon-polylysine is a natural antimicrobial peptide synthesized by specific bacteria, commonly utilized as a preservative in food and beverage products to thwart the proliferation of a broad range of microorganisms, including bacteria, yeast, and mold. This compound is favored for its thermal stability, resilience in acidic environments, and expansive antimicrobial efficacy.

Monascin is a kind of azaphilonoid pigments extracted from Monascus pilosus-fermented rice (red-mold rice),exhibits anti-tumor-initiating activity and anti-inflammatory activity .

Aspergillomarasmine A is a polyamine acid naturally produced by the mold Aspergillus Versicolor.

Brilliant green, a cationic dye, is utilized for coloring silk and wool. Additionally, it halts the propagation of mold, intestinal parasites, and fungus, proving effective against Gram-positive bacteria [1] [2].

Sterigmatocystine is an inhibitor of G1 Phase and DNA synthesis and is used to inhibit p21 activity. Sterigmatocystine is a precursor of aflatoxins and a mycotoxin produced by common mold strains from Aspergillus versicolor.

Aphidicolin, an antibiotic derived from the mold Cephalosporium aphidicola, is a potent inhibitor of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) synthesis, effectively hindering the proliferation of herpes simplex virus[2]. It targets DNA polymerase α and δ, disrupting mitotic cell division by affecting DNA polymerase activity[1]. Additionally, aphidicolin enhances apoptosis when combined with arabinosyl nucleosides in a human promyelocytic leukemia cell line[3].

Compound B12 (Antibacterial agent 157) is a fungicidal agent that can impact protein synthesis in Botrytis cinerea. It is utilized in research for controlling gray mold resistance [1].

2,2-Dibromopropanoic acid is a derivative of propionic acid, characterized by the presence of two bromine atoms. Propionic acid, which belongs to the category of short chain fatty acids, serves as a chemical intermediate. Additionally, propionic acid acts as a mold inhibitor and finds extensive usage as a food preservative.

Mevastatin (ML236B) is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that was initially isolated from the mold Pythium ultimum. Mevastatin was the first statin to enter clinical trials.

Fumigaclavine A, a clavine alkaloid mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus fumigatus, can be isolated from mold-contaminated silage [1].

Pyrimethanil is a strobilurin fungicide belonging to the anilinopyrimidine class. Pyrimethanil is a broad-spectrum contact fungicide for the control of Botrytis spp. on a wide variety of crops. Pyrimethanil inhibits the biosynthesis of methionine and other amino acids in Botrytis cinerea.

Glorin is a chemoattractant mediating cell aggregation in the slime mold Polysphondylium violaceum.
