Ansamycins are a family of macrolactams characterized by an aromatic chromophore with an aliphatic chain (ansa chain) connected back to a nonadjacent position through an amide bond. This family has shown a high degree of druggability exemplified by rifamycins, maytansinoids, and geldanamycins. In this study, the isolation of two novel ansamycin macrodilactams with unprecedented features, juanlimycins A (1) and B (2), from Streptomyces sp. LC6 were reported. The structures of 1 and 2 were assigned on the basis of analysis of NMR spectroscopic data and X-ray single crystal diffraction.
