A New Antibacterial Pyridinoside from a Streptomyces Species

A new compound, 8-propionate-2-beta-(D+)-glucosyl-9,10-pyranopyridine, was isolated from the chloroform extract of a Streptomyces species. The structure of the compound was confirmed by spectroscopic techniques including UV, IR, HR-ESI-MS, H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR, H-1-H-1 COSY and HMBC (long range coupling) spectra. The compound showed significant antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the isolated compound against Bacillus megaterium, Streptococcus beta-haemolyticus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi and Shigella dysenteriae were found to be 0.16, 0.08, 0.08, 0.04, 0.08 and 0.08 mu M, respectively.
