Abstract: Disclosed are novel compounds useful for prevention or control of diseases derived from fungi, a process for producing the same, and novel antifungal agents using the novel compounds. The compounds useful for prevention and treatment of diseases derived from fungi according to the present invention include novel compounds represented by formula (I). The compounds represented by formula (I) have potent antifungal activity against diseases derived from fungi, and do not have phytotoxicity to mammals and agricultural and garden plants, from which diseases should be eliminated, and, even when applied to agricultural and garden plants, have high photostability.

Abstract: Disclosed are novel compounds useful for the control of harmful organisms, harmful organism control agents using the same, and processes for producing the novel compounds. The useful novel compounds according to the present invention include compounds represented by formula (1).

Abstract: Novel derivatives of PF1022 substance, which are cyclodepsipeptides represented by the general formula (I) shown below or their salts are useful as anthelmintic agent for prevention or treatment of parasitic infections.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cyclic thiodepsipeptides, in particular 18 to 24-membered cyclothiodepsipeptides, their endoparasitical compositions, and methods of making and using the same.

Abstract: Known cyclic depsipeptides which are PF 1022F substance and PF 1022H substance, as well as a novel cyclic depsipeptide, PF 1022G substance, are now prepared simultaneously by cultivating a fungal strain capable of producing PF 1022F substance, PF 1022G substance and PF 1022H substance represented by the known PF 1022 strain (deposited under FERM BP-2671) which is a kind of fungus belonging to asporous imperfect fungi (the order Agonomycetales) and is presumable to belong to the genus Xylaria or the genus Rosellinia in the family Xylariaceae.

Abstract: Novel PF 1022 derivatives--cyclodepsipeptides represented by the below-described formula (I)--and acid addition salts thereof, which have been synthesized according to the present invention, have anthelmintic activities against various parasitic worms which are parasitic on human bodies, domestic animals and pet animals. They are therefore useful as anthelmintics for the prevention or treatment of parasitic infections. ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, Q, X, Y and Z have been defined herein.

Abstract: New compounds are disclosed having the general formulas (1) and (2): ##STR1## Also described is a process for preparing the compounds of formulas (1) and (2). Further described is a process for preparing a cephalosporin derivative having formula (5): ##STR2## by converting the compound of formula (1) to the compound of formula (2) and then converting the compound of formula (2) to the compound of formula (5).
