Hemipyocyanine (1-hydroxyphenazine) is a simple phenazine metabolite produced by several species of Pseudomonas and Streptomyces. Hemipyocyanine exhibits broad spectrum activity with weak...
Doxorubicin (syn: Adriamycin) is the most extensively studied of a family of highly fluorescent anthracycline antibiotics produced by several Streptomyces species, first reported in 1967 and later...
Epiequisetin is a minor isomer of equisetin, a potent inhibitor of HIV-integrase produced by a number of species of Fusarium. Chemically, equisetin equilibrates with epiequisetin. Although found to...
Resistomycin is a tetrahydroxyanthrone that has been independently isolated by several groups and reported to have a broad range of biological activities. Resistomycin is active against bacteria,...
Violacein is an intense violet pigment formed by the condensation of two tryptophan units, found in a number of bacteria, notably Chromobacterium violaceum. The regulation of pigment biosynthesis is...
Luzopeptin A is a member of the echinomycin (quinomycin A) class of antitumor and antibiotic agents. Luzopeptin A is also a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 and HIV-2 reverse transcriptase. Luzopeptin A is...
Gilvocarcin M is the minor analogue of a complex of C-glycoside antitumor actives isolated from a Streptomyces sp.. Gilvocarcin M contains a methyl group in the 8-position, and is less active than...
Gilvocarcin V is the major analogue of a complex of C-glycoside antitumor actives isolated from a Streptomyces sp.. Gilvocarcin V contains a vinyl group in the 8-position, and is the most potent...
Cyclopenin is one of an unusual family of benzodiazepine metabolites produced by a number of Penicillium species. Often mistakenly referred to as a mycotoxin, cyclopenin shows little toxicity against...
Quinomycin A is a cyclic depsipeptide metabolite. Quinomycin A has broad activity against bacteria, fungi and viruses, and has found application as an antitumor agent. Quinomycin A acts by...
Terphenyllin is the dominant analogue of a family of polyphenyl fungal metabolites produced by Aspergillus candidus. The occurrence of this metabolite is a criterion in the polyphasic taxonomy of A...
Leucinostatin A is the major component of an atypical nonapeptide complex produced by Paecilomyces lilacinus, first reported in 1973. Leucinostatins display broad bioactivity against Gram-positive...
