Abstract
In our systematic screening programme for marine actinomycetes, a bioactive streptomycete was isolated from marine sediment samples of the Bay of Bengal, India. The isolate yielded a new cytotoxic compound. This was obtained by solvent extraction followed by chromatographic purification. The pure compound was identified from spectroscopic data as a quinone-related antibiotic, 1-hydroxy-1-norresistomycin (1). It showed a potent cytotoxic activity against cell lines viz. HMO2 (gastric adenocarcinoma) and HePG2 (hepatic carcinoma) in vitro. It also exhibited antibacterial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.Entities:
