MM14201, a new epoxyquinone derivative with antibacterial activity produced by a species of Streptomyces.

Abstract
A new antibiotic, designated MM 14201, was detected in a culture of Streptomyces sp. NCIB 11813. Methods for the production and purification of MM 14201 are described. Biological evaluation showed it to have broad spectrum antibacterial activity being most effective against Serratia and Pseudomonas sp. Structural studies are reported which demonstrated MM 14201 is a new epoxyquinone derivative.
