Izupeptins A and B, new glycopeptide antibiotics produced by an actinomycete.

چکیده
In the course of screening for new high molecular weight peptidoglycan synthesis inhibitors, izupeptins A and B, antibiotics active against Gram-positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococci and Clostridium were discovered. The antibiotics were found to be new members of the glycopeptide antibiotic family, namely of the vancomycin type, based on chemical and spectroscopic data. The molecular weight of izupeptin A was determined to be 1,475 by SI (secondary ion)-MS (integer molecular weight, 1,473), and it contains two chlorine atoms.

New antibiotics, chloropolysporins A, B and C, were found in the culture broth of an actinomycete identified as Faenia interjecta sp. nov. They were isolated from the culture filtrate by column chromatography on various resinous adsorbents, followed by preparative reverse phase HPLC. Chloropolysporins A, B and C possessed all the same new aglycone composed of actinoidic acid, 3-chloro-4-hydroxy...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance mechanisms inform discovery: identification and characterization of a novel amycolatopsis strain producing ristocetin.
Discovering new antibiotics is a major scientific challenge, made increasingly urgent by the continued development of resistance in bacterial pathogens. A fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of bacterial antibiotic resistance will be vital for the future discovery or design of new, more effective antibiotics. We have exploited our intimate knowledge of the molecular mechanism of glycope...

Background: The appearance of multi-drug resistant microorganisms is becoming a global problem. Already several strategies have been employed to overcome antibiotic resistance issue. Developing new antimicrobial compounds from microbial sources could be a beneficial solution. Hence screening programs in order to discover new antibiotics from microbial entities are interesting. Because of high c...
متن کاملHelvecardins A and B, novel glycopeptide antibiotics. II. Structural elucidation.
Helvecardins A and B, which are produced by Pseudonocardia compacta subsp. helvetica, are new members of glycopeptide antibiotics. They contain the same pseudoaglycone as beta-avoparcin and the same compositions of neutral sugar, amino sugar, and amino acid except that 2'-O-methylrhamnose was detected in helvecardins instead of rhamnose in beta-avoparcin, and mannose was not detected in helveca...
متن کاملNew antibiotics SF2315A and B produced by an Excellospora sp. I. Taxonomy of the strain, isolation and characterization of antibiotics.
Two new antibiotics SF2315A and B have been isolated from culture filtrate of an actinomycete strain, Excellospora viridilutea SF2315. They are weakly active against Gram-positive bacteria and inhibited reverse transcriptase of avian myeloblastosis virus. Empirical molecular formula of antibiotics SF2315A and B were determined to be C19H16O5 and C19H20O6, respectively.
