Ferensimycins A and B. Two polyether antibiotics. Taxonomy, fermentation, isolation, characterization and structural studies.

Ferensimycin A* (I), C34H59O10Na, mp 133 approximately 135 degrees C, and ferensimycin B** (II), C35H61O10Na, mp 143 approximately 145 degrees C, were isolated as their sodium salts from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. No. 5057, a strain similar to Streptomyces myxogenes Shomura et al. The physicochemical data of I and II showed that they are both closely related congeners of lysocellin (III). Ferensimycins A and B exhibit activity against Gram-positive bacteria and are effective in the treatment of coccidiosis of fowl.

Antibiotic no. 6016, a polyether antibiotic.

A new polyether antibiotic, No. 6016, was isolated from the culture of Streptomyces albus strain No. 6016. The antibiotic was obtained as colorless prisms having a molecular formula of C46H77O16Na, m.p. 192 approximately 195 degrees C (dec.), and has only end absorption in ultraviolet region. The infrared and NMR spectra of the antibiotic suggest the presence of carbonyl and methoxyl groups. The antibiotic No. 6016 exhibits activity against Gram-positive bacteria including mycobacteria and is effective in the treatment of coccidiosis of fowl.
