picromycin Usage And Synthesis

DefinitionChEBI: A macrolide antibiotic that is biosynthesised by Streptomyces venezuelae.
Enzyme inhibitorThis polyketide (FW = 525.68 g/mol; CAS 19721-56-3; bitter-tasting solid; low water solubility; soluble in benzene and acetone) from Actinomyces spp., and originally spelled pikromycin, was the first identified macrolide antibiotic. Picromycin is most likely produced as the inactive diglucoside and liberated extracellularly as the active antibiotic through the action of a b-glucosidase.
