General Description

Forrestin A is a natural product isolated from the soil-dwelling bacterium Streptomyces forrestii. It is a member of the rare angucycline class of polyketide antibiotics and has been shown to exhibit potent antibacterial activity against a range of Gram-positive bacteria, including multi-drug resistant strains. Forrestin A has a unique chemical structure, containing a 6,7-dihydroxy-1,5-naphthyridine core, which is thought to contribute to its antibiotic properties. Its ability to inhibit bacterial growth makes it a promising candidate for the development of new antibacterial agents to combat antibiotic-resistant infections. Additionally, its unique structure and biological activity make it an interesting target for further chemical synthesis and modification in the study of antibiotic design and development.
