Abstract
Microorganisms are a valuable source of pharmaceutically active chemicals, serving as scaffolds for synthesis as well as lead structures. Investigating novel biomes frequently yields intriguing chemistry; the Atacama Desert in Chile is one such example. This study reports the isolation of a new reduced anthracycline-related compound from the Atacama Desert-derived bacterium Saccharothrix S26. Structural characterisation was achieved by one-dimensional and two-dimensional NMR, HR-LCMS, and X-ray crystallography. The compound was tested against the ESKAPE pathogens, bovine mastitis-related pathogens, and the fungal strain Cryptococcus neoformans, but no antimicrobial activity was observed.
