“…Additionally, HPLC profiling of these extracts indicated the presence of secondary metabolites with UV absorptions consistent with the ansamycins (λ max 214 and 272 nm). Chemical investigation led to the isolation of two new benzenic ansamycins, trienomycins H ( 1 ) and I ( 2 ), along with the known trienomycinol ( 3 ) [ 36 , 37 ] ( Figure 1 ). The trienomycins A–F [ 29 , 38 , 39 ] possess different N -acyl substituted alanine ester moieties attached to C-11 of the ansamycin-like ring, such as cyclohexanecarboxyl, 3-methylbutanoyl, ( S )-2-methylbutanoyl, 1-cyclohexene-1-carboxyl, 4-methylpentanoyl, ( E )-3-pentenoyl, and ( E )-2-methyl-2-butenoyl, respectively, while the trienomycin G [ 21 ] is the isomer of trienomycin A by interchanging the position of 11- and 13- substituents.…”
