Abstract

Two new aminocyclitol amide derivatives, nabscessins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the culture broth of a pathogenic actinomycete species, Nocardia abscessus IFM 10029T. The structures of nabscessins A and B were elucidated by spectral studies, and the compounds showed antifungal activity against Cryptococcus neoformans, with IC50 values of 32 and 16 μg/mL, respectively.
