Endophenazines A-D, new phenazine antibiotics from the athropod associated endosymbiont Streptomyces anulatus II. Structure elucidation

J Antibiot (Tokyo). 2002 Sep;55(9):801-6. doi: 10.7164/antibiotics.55.801.

Abstract

A detailed screening of the secondary metabolite pattern produced by different athropod associated strains of the species Streptomyces anulatus resulted in the isolation and structure elucidation of the endophenazines A-D (2, 4-6). The structures were assigned by spectroscopic methods and chemical transformations. 4 represents a chromophoric system based on a phenazin-7-one, 5 and 6 are new 5,10-dihydrophenazine derivatives.
