Abstract

Novel geldanamycin derivative, 4,5-dihydro-thiazinogeldanamycin (3), was characterized from the gdmP mutant in Streptomyces hygroscopicus 17997, besides expected 4,5-dihydro-geldanamycin (2). The presence of this compound would suggest an unknown post-PKS modification in geldanamycin biosynthesis. Compound 3 exhibited moderate anti-HSV-1-virus activity and higher water solubility than geldanamycin (1). Cysteine served as a precursor to synthesize 3, whose formation required obligatory enzymatic assistance.
