Abstract

Okilactomycin, a novel antibiotic, was isolated from the culture filtrate of a strain of actinomycetes. The producing organism, strain YP-02908L, was identified as Streptomyces griseoflavus subsp. zamamiensis subsp. nov. The antibiotic was extracted with ethyl acetate and purified by silica gel column chromatography. It was obtained as colorless prisms from a dichloromethane solution. It exhibited weak antimicrobial activity against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma in vivo. The apparent molecular formula of okilactomycin was determined as C24H32O6. It is a new member of the lactone group antibiotics.
