Comment: Alchivemycin A is a polycyclic polyketide that was isolated from a plant-associated actinomycete Streptomyces species [2]. Spectroscopic analysis and X-ray crystallography were used to define its structure and absolute stereo configuration. We drew the structure as depicted in [2], and the resulting SMILES mapped to the PubChem CID listed below. Alchivemycin A has antimicrobial and anticancer properties in vitro [2-5]. A complex total synthesis that integrated traditional chemical methods and biocatalysis using enzymes engineered from the source bacterium, has been reported [1].

Bioactivity Comments |
Antimicrobial activity of alchivemycin A against Micrococcus luteus (MIC 50 nM) in vitro; inactive against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans [2]. In vitro, alchivemycin A inhibits invasive activity of murine colon carcinoma 26-L5 cells, with minimal cytotoxicity in these cells or in murine renal carcinoma Renca cells and HUVECs [2]. |
