Comment: Caprazamycin B is a liponucleoside antibacterial compound, with activity against Gram-positive bacteria and mycobacteria, that was obtained from the culture broth of the actinomycete strain Streptomyces sp. MK730-62F2 [3-4]. It inhibits phospho-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide-transferase (MraY, translocase I) [5], an essential enzyme in bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis.
