Structure elucidation of UK-72,051, a novel member of the vancomycin group of antibiotics
Abstract
A novel antibiotic structurally related to vancomycin has been isolated from a streptomycete fermentation broth. The structure has been elucidated by a combination of FAB-MS and 1H proton n.m.r. studies, and is found to differ from vancomycin in the type of sugars present, and in the positions of aromatic chlorination.
