Abstract
During the course of our screening program designed to discover novel anticancer and anti-infective agents from marine microorganisms, a strain of Streptomyces aureoverticillatus (NPS001583) isolated from a marine sediment was found to produce a novel macrocyclic lactam with cytotoxicity against various tumor cell lines. Using extensive MS, UV, and NMR spectral analyses, the structure has been established as compound 1, aureoverticillactam, a 22-atom macrocyclic lactam incorporating both triene and tetraene conjugated olefins.Entities:
