Two new glutarimide antibiotics from Streptomyces sp. HS-NF-780

Two new glutarimide antibiotics, 9-methylstreptimidone 2-α-d-glucopyranoside (1), and hydroxyiso-9-methylstreptimidone (2), along with a known compound, 9-methylstreptimidone (3), have been isolated from the broth of Streptomyces sp. HS-NF-780. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR techniques as well as ESI-MS and comparison with data from the literature. By modified Mosher’s method and acid hydrolysis, the absolute configurations of compounds 1 and 2 were established. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity.
