Haneummycin, a new 22-membered macrolide lactam antibiotic, produced by marine-derived Streptomyces sp. KM77-8

A new antibiotic named haneummycin ( 1 ) was isolated from a culture broth of marine-derived Streptomyces sp. KM77-8 by solvent extraction and HPLC using a C4 column. The structure of 1 was elucidated including relative stereochemistry as a new 22-membered macrolide lactam associated with a cyclopentanone and three sugars by various spectroscopic analyses, such as MS and NMR. Compound 1 displayed significant antibacterial activities against Gram-positive bacteria including vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with both MIC values of 8.0 µg ml −1 .
