M. Chu et al., Isolation and structure elucidation of two novel deformylase inhibitors produced by Streptomyces sp., TETRAHEDR L, 42(21), 2001, pp. 3549-3551
Sch 382582 (1) and Sch 382583 (2), two novel pseudopeptides. were isolated
from fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. as bacteria peptide defurmylase
inhibitors. Structure elucidation of I and 2 was accomplished by extensive
2D NMR spectroscopic studies including NOESY, HMQC-TOCSY and HMBC experime
nts, and the relative stereochemistry was determined by X-ray crystallograp
hy. Both compounds displayed potent inhibitory activity against E. coli def
ormylase. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. Ail rights reserved.
