A-503083 A, B, E and F, Novel Inhibitors of Bacterial Translocase I, Produced by Streptomyces sp. SANK 62799

Abstract

Novel nucleoside antibiotics were isolated from the cultured broth of the strain classified as Streptomyces sp. SANK 62799. The strain produced four novel capuramycin derivatives designated as A-503083 A, B, E and F. Their structures were elucidated as 2'-O-carbamoyl derivatives of A-500359 A, B (capuramycin), E and F, respectively. A-503083 A, B, E and F inhibited bacterial phospho-N-acetylmuramyl-pentapeptide-translocase (translocase I: EC 2.7.8.13) with IC50 values of 0.024, 0.038, 0.135 and 17.9 microM, respectively.
