Producing organism
Streptomyces sp. RK88-1355
Biological activity
cytotoxicity and antimalarial activity
Abstract
A new metabolite containing a γ-butyrolactone and 2-hydroxy-3- formylaminobenzoic acid moieties, opantimycin A was isolated from a microbial metabolite fraction library generated from Streptomyces sp. RK88-1355 by search of an LC/MS-based spectral database named NPPlot: Natural Products Plot. The structure was determined based on extensive spectroscopic methods including NMR, MS and MS/MS experiments. It showed moderate cytotoxicity against HL-60 cell lines and antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7.
