Maximiscin

Maximiscin is a polyketide-shikimate isolate of Tolypocladium with anticancer activity.[1] The discovery of maximiscin was the result of a citizen scientist crowdsourcing project by the University of Oklahoma.[2] The soil sample which yielded maximiscin was sent by a woman from Salcha, Alaska.[3]
