Ansamycin antibiotics as free radical scavengers isolated from Streptomyces by using the bactericidal action of the hydroxyl radical

Article abstract of DOI:10.1271/bbb.60.1507

Ansamycin antibiotics (1-4) were isolated from the cultured broth of Streptomyces sp. USF-319 strain as a result of our screening for free radical scavengers. They inhibited the bactericidal effect of the Fenton reagent toward Bacillus subtilis by their radical scavenging activity. Some of them also showed inhibitory activity against lipid peroxidation and lipoxygenases.
