Macrolactin N, a new peptide deformylase inhibitor produced by Bacillus subtilis

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Sep 15;16(18):4889-92. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.06.058. Epub 2006 Jun 30.

Abstract

A new 24-membered ring lactone, macrolactin N, was isolated from a culture broth of Bacillus subtilis and its structure was established by various spectral analysis. Macrolactin N inhibited Staphylococcus aureus peptide deformylase with an IC50 value of 7.5 microM and also showed antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and S. aureus.
