 AB    Six novel enzyme inhibitors of RNA-directed DNA-polymerases of human
       immunodeficiency-, avian myeloblastosis and murine leukemia viruses were
       isolated from fermentations of a canadian Mniopetalum species. They were
       named mniopetals A, B, C, D, E and F. Their structures were elucidated
       by spectroscopic methods. The compounds, in addition to their inhibitory
       activities on reverse transcriptases, exhibit antimicrobial and
       cytotoxic properties.
