Comment: Capreomycin is a tuberactinomycin antibacterial, originally isolated from cultures of Streptomyces capreolus as a mixture of four components (capreomycins IA, IB, IIA, and IIB) [2]. We show the structure for capreomycin IB, a cyclic depsipeptide, which is reported to be the major component of capreomycin [1]. Note that the INN describes a mixture of capreomycin IA and IB, represented by PubChem CID 3000502.
