Actinopyrones A, B and C, new physiologically active substances. I. Producing organism, fermentation, isolation and biological properties

J Antibiot (Tokyo). 1986 Jan;39(1):32-7. doi: 10.7164/antibiotics.39.32.

Abstract

A strain of Streptomyces was found to produce new physiologically active substances. The active compounds were purified and separated into three substances named actinopyrones A, B and C. Actinopyrones exhibited coronary vasodilating activities in anesthetized dogs and weakly antimicrobial activities against some Gram-positive bacteria and dermatophytes.
