Abstract

An actinomycete strain, H41-55 from sea sediment was identified as Streptomyces antibiotic on the basis of its morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics as well as 16S rDNA data. A new secondary metabolite, (2S,3R)-N-[3-(formylamino)-2-hydroxybenzoyl]-l-threonine propyl ester (1), together with five known compounds was isolated from fermentation product by use of silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and preparative RP-C18 HPLC, and identified by HR-TOF-MS and NMR spectra. The cytotoxicities of these isolates against three cancer cell lines and their antifungal activities on Candida albicans were tested. Compounds 1, 3, 5, and 6 displayed moderate cytotoxicity. 5 and 6 showed inhibitory activity on C. albicans.
