Glucosylquestiomycin, a novel antibiotic from Microbispora sp. TP-A0184: Fermentation, isolation, structure determination, synthesis and biological activities

Article abstract of DOI:10.7164/antibiotics.51.915

Glucosylquestiomycin, a novel N-glucopyranoside of questiomycin A, was isolated from the culture broth of Microbispora sp. TP-A0184. The absolute configuration of the sugar was determined as D-configuration by chemical synthesis. The new antibiotic showed antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and -negative bacteria and yeasts and cytotoxic activity against U937 cells.
