Etnangien, a Macrolide-Polyene Antibiotic from <i>Sorangium cellulosum</i> That Inhibits Nucleic Acid Polymerases
1 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
Etnangien (1), a new macrolide antibiotic active against Gram-positive bacteria, was isolated from the culture broth of the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum, strains So ce750 and So ce1045. Spectroscopic structure elucidation of 1 revealed a complex macrocyclic lactone bearing a modified C21 carboxylic acid side chain. The latter contains two allylic hydroxyl groups and an all-E hexaene unit, which provides the...
