Parvodicin is a family of glycopeptides with potent antibiotic activity, isolated from Actinomadura parvosata. Structurally the parvodicins share a common cyclic peptide core with ristocetin. The analogues within the complex vary in the fatty acid substitution on the aminosugar. Parvodicin complex is a precursor to the synthetic glycopepide, dalbavancin.
Parvodicin complex is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF or DMSO. Slightly soluble in water.
