Corynecin V is a chloramphenicol-like acyl nitrophenylpropylamine.

Corynecin V is a member of a naturally-occurring complex of chloramphenicol-like acyl nitrophenylpropylamines isolated from Corynebacterium hydrocarboclastus in 1972. Corynecin V is active against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Although less potent than chloramphenicol, corynecin V shows a similar species selectivity.
