“…9 All of these compounds have the same E,E,E-trienyl lower side chains terminating in a 2-amino-3-hydroxycyclopentenone derived amide. U-56407 (13) 10 is reported to possess a Z,Z,E-trienyl lower side chain (although this stereochemical assignment must be treated with caution 5b ) whereas colabomycin (14) 11 is a higher vinylogue, nisamycin (15) 12 lacks the terminal amide linkage, and U-62162 (16) 13 has a saturated lower side chain. The upper side chains of the family members are more distinctive but all of these compounds are based on the epoxyaminocyclohexenone nucleus which is also found in the anti-tumour antibiotic LL-C10037a (17), 14 and the broad spectrum antibiotic MM-14201 (18).…”
