Abstract

L-689,502 is a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 protease activity in vitro. Microbial biotransformations of L-689,502 by cultures belonging to the genus Streptomyces sp. were performed. Extracts of culture broths were examined for the production of metabolites of L-689,502 that could inhibit HIV-1 protease activity. One culture, MA 6804 ( Streptomyces lavendulae, ATCC 55095), produced L-694,746 that, while being structurally related to L-689,502, is a novel metabolite and a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 protease.
