J Antibiot (Tokyo). 1976 Jan;29(1):1-6. doi: 10.7164/antibiotics.29.1.

Abstract

A new antibiotic, trichostatin, was isolated from the metabolites of strains of Streptomyces hygroscopicus. It is active against trichophytons and some fungi. The structure was determined to be a derivative of a primary hydroxamic acid by chemical and spectroscopic evidences.
