Abstract

Chemical investigation of Streptomyces sp. NA07423 led to the discovery of two unreported macrolactams, nagimycins A (1) and B (2). Their structures were elucidated by NMR, HRESIMS, X-ray crystallography, and comparison of experimental and theoretical ECD spectra. The nagimycins have a unique butenolide moiety rarely found in ansamycin antibiotics. Genome analysis revealed the putative biosynthetic gene cluster for nagimycins, and a likely biosynthetic pathway was proposed. Notably, compounds 1 and 2 exhibited potent antibacterial activity against two pathogenic Xanthomonas bacteria.
