Abstract

A new linear thiopeptide, bernitrilecin (1), was isolated from Streptomyces sp. CPCC 203702. Compound 1 is the first example of a nitrile-bearing thiopeptide. Its structure and absolute configuration were elucidated by extensive analysis of spectroscopic data and Marfey's method. The biosynthesis of the nitrile unit for 1 was proposed to be through oxidations, decarboxylation, and dehydration. Compound 1 exhibited significant anti-influenza A virus activity with the IC50 value of 16.7 μM.
