Abstract
Abstract Physiologically active substances ML-236 of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen atom, hydroxy group or 2-methyl-butyryloxy group having cholesterol- and lipid-lowering effects in blood and liver and thus utility as hypocholesteremic and hypolipemic medicaments. They are obtained by cultivation of an ML-236-producing micro-organism belonging to the genus Penicillium in a culture medium and subsequent recovery thereof from a cultured broth.
