Title: Enduracidin
CAS Registry Number: 11115-82-5
Synonyms: Enramycin
Literature References: Cyclodepsipeptide antibiotic produced by
Streptomyces fungicidicus, strain no. B5477, from a soil sample collected in Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan: Higashide
et al., J. Antibiot. 21, 126 (1968). Originally thought to be a single compound. Isoln and characterization: Asai
et al., ibid. 138;
FR 1514139;
GB 1163270 (1968, 1969 to Takeda). Manufacturing process:
JP Kokai 82 79896 (1982 to Takeda),
C.A. 97, 108525s (1982). Separation into two components, enduracidins A and B: Hori
et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull. 21, 1171 (1973). The two components are each composed of seventeen amino acids, sixteen of which form a macrocyclic peptide lactone, and only differ by one methylene group in their fatty acid moieties. Structural studies: Hori
