Mohangic acids A–E (1–5) were isolated from a marine Streptomyces sp. collected from a mudflat in Buan, Republic of Korea. Comprehensive spectroscopic analysis revealed that the mohangic acids are new members of the p-aminoacetophenonic acid class. The relative and absolute configurations of the mohangic acids were determined by J-based configuration analysis and by the application of bidentate chiral NMR solvents followed by 13C NMR analysis, chemical derivatization, and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Mohangic acid E (5), which is the first glycosylated compound in the p-aminoacetophenonic acid family, displayed significant quinone reductase induction activity.
