Abstract

Myzus persicae (Sulzer) is a crop pest causing serious economic losses around the world. For many decades, the management of M. persicae has relied heavily on chemical pesticides, resulting in the development of resistance, and new compounds with activity against M. persicae are needed. Five novel polyketides, strekingmycins A-E (1-5), were isolated from Streptomyces sp. SA61. Their structures were determined based on MS, NMR, and X-ray diffraction data. Strekingmycins were active against M. persicae between 4.4 and 9.4 μg/mL.
