Five new streptothricin derivatives with a carbamoyl group substituted at C-12 (1-5) and three known analogues have been isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. I08A 1776 by ion exchange and hydrophilic interaction chromatographic techniques. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods. Compound 3 was a streptothricin derivative possessing a cis-streptolidine moiety. Its absolute configuration was defined by comparison of quantum chemical TDDFT calculated and experimental ECD spectra. Compound 5 and streptothricin E (6) displayed antibacterial and antifungal activity with MIC values in the range 1-64 μg/mL.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
