Corynecin I is a member of a naturally-occurring complex of chloramphenicol-like acyl nitrophenylpropylamines isolated from Corynebacterium hydrocarboclastus in 1972. Corynecin I is active against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Although less potent than chloramphenicol, corynecin I shows a similar species selectivity.
Corynecin I is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO.
