Abstract

A novel Antibiotic complex has been isolated form the fermentation broth of a new species of Actinomadura, A. kijaniata SCC 1256. The complex was separated form the broth by a solvent extraction procedure and consists of 1 major component, designated kijanimicin, and 3 minor components. Kijanimicin was isolated form the complex by column chromatography and/or preparative high pressure liquid chromatography. Structurally the compound is a unique, large acid enol Antibiotic and possesses an unusual in vitro spectrum of activity against some Gram-positive and anaerobic Microorganisms. In vivo it has also shown interesting activity against malaria.
