Abstract

Novel derivatives of capuramycin were obtained when 10 mM of 2-aminoethyl-L-cysteine (AEC), an inhibitor of aspartokinase, was added to the culture of Streptomyces griseus SANK 60196, the producer of A-500359. They were purified from the culture filtrate and their chemical structures were elucidated as a deaminocaprolactam derivative of capuramycin designated as A-500359 F, A-500359 E, a methyl ester of A-500359 F, and A-500359 H, a 3'-demethyl derivative of A-500359 F. Two other compounds, A-500359 M-1 and A-500359 M-2, were purified from the same medium and their structures were elucidated. A-500359 E, F, H, M-1 and M-2 inhibited bacterial translocase I with an IC50 of 0.027 microM, 1.1 microM, 0.008 microM, 0.058 microM and 0.010 microM, respectively. A-500359 E, M-1 and M-2 inhibited the growth of mycobacteria as well.
