Urdamycin A is a bacterial metabolite originally isolated fromS. fradiaethat has antibacterial and anticancer activities.1,2It is active against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, includingB. subtilisand strains ofArthrobacterandStreptomyces, but not the fungusS. cerevisiae, in a disc assay when used at a concentration of 1 mg ml.2Urdamycin A is cytotoxic to L1210 and HT-29, but not A549, cancer cells (IC50s = 7.5, 5, and >10 μg ml, respectively).1
Malformin A is a cyclopentapeptide fungal metabolite that has been found in A. niger and has diverse biological activities. It is a plant growth regulator that induces malformations in plant structure. Malformin A inhibits replication of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in local lesion and leaf-disc assays (IC50s = 19.7 and 45.4 μg/ml, respectively).
