Thiocillin I is the simplest of the macrocyclic thiazole peptides, first isolated from Bacillus badius. The final structural assignment and total synthesis of thiocillin I was only completed in 2011. Thiocillin I was originally reported as a potent antibacterial but its biological activity has not been extensively investigated.
Thiocillin I is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO.
