Abstract

(R)-(+)-Thiolactomycin (1) is a thiolactone antibiotic isolated from a soil bacterium, Nocardia sp. 1 and exhibits moderate in vitro activity against a number of pathogens including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, 2 Mycobacterium tuberculosis 3 and malaria parasites. 4 It was also reported that 1 shows inhibitory activity against fatty acid synthase (FAS). 5 In addition, it appeared that 1 inhibits bacterial and plant type-II FAS but not mammalian type-I FAS. 6 ...
