“…The bafilomycin family has a common 16-membered lactone ring with two conjugated diene moieties at the same positions and the same side chains at C-6, C-7, C-8 and C-14 ( Figure 1). This family includes 14 bafilomycins, 11,[20][21][22] hygrolidin, 23 setamycin, 24,25 hygrobafilomycin, 12 JBIR-100 26 and makinolides, 27,28 all of which are produced by Streptomyces strains. As elucidated in this study, BFL has two structural characteristics: (1) a methyl residue at C-2 like makinolides, JBIR-100, bafilomycin K and J, but on an O-methyl residue at C-2 in other members, and (2) a 2H-pyran at C-18, but a tetrahydropyran or a dihydropyran at C-18 in other members.…”
