I. Momose et al., Decatromicins A and B, new antibiotics produced by Actinomadura sp MK73-NF4 - II. Structure determination, J ANTIBIOT, 52(9), 1999, pp. 787-796
The structures of decatromicins A and B that strongly inhibit the growth of
MRSA were elucidated by the analysis of various NMR experiments. The plana
r structure was determined by H-1, C-13, COSY, HMQC and HMBC NMR spectra. T
he relative configuration of aglycone was elucidated by NOESY experiments a
nd the absolute structure was determined by application of the modified Mos
her's method. The absolute structure of glycosyl moiety was determined by X
-ray analysis of the O-(p-bromobenzoyl) derivative.
