New Fluvirucinins C1 and C2 Produced by a Marine Derived Actinomycete

Abstract

Two new fluvirucin aglycones, named fluvirucinins C, and C2 (1-2), have been isolated from the ethyl acetate mycelial cake extract of the fermentation broth of.a marine sponge-associated actinomycete. Fluvirucinins C, (1) and C2 (2) represent a new type of 14-membered macrolactam aglycon, structurally related with the common aglycon of the known fluvirucins. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of ID and 2D NMR analyses, as well as HRESIMS experiments. The antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of compounds 1 and 2 have been evaluated, but no significant activities found for fluvirucinins C, and C2.
