Reference Reading
1. Isolation of cairomycins A and C
I R Shimi, S Fathey Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1981 Jun;19(6):941-4. doi: 10.1128/AAC.19.6.941.
Cairomycin B in the fermentation broths of Streptomyces sp. strain AS-C-19 accompanied cairomycin A and cairomycin C. The cairomycins are peptides with potent activity against gram-positive bacteria. On acid hydrolysis, cairomycin A yielded valine and aspartic acid, whereas cairomycin C yielded lysine, glycine, valine, leucine, and aspartic acid, as identified by paper and gas chromatography. These amino acids were found to exist in their alpha-L form. Cairomycin A was tentatively assigned a 6-isopropyl-2,5-diketopiperazine-3-acetic acid structure. The three cairomycins were distinct from each other in their ultraviolet, infrared, and mass spectra; elemental analyses; and their chromatographic behavior in different developing solvents.
2. Four diastereoisomers of cyclo(-Asp-Val-): inconsistency of their properties with the proposed structure of cairomycin A
T Ueda, K Kiyohara, S Lee, H Aoyagi, N Izumiya J Antibiot (Tokyo). 1992 Feb;45(2):235-9. doi: 10.7164/antibiotics.45.235.
The four diastereoisomers of cyclo(-Asp-Val-) were synthesized to compare with a proposed structure of cairomycin A. Their antimicrobial activities were determined against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The physico-chemical properties of the isomers were characterized by mp, 1H NMR, IR, FAB-MS, and solubility in solvents, which were different from those reported for cairomycin A.
