Abstract

[GRAPHICS] Bogorol A (1), a novel peptide antibiotic active against MRSA and VRE, has been isolated from cultures of a marine Bacillus sp, collected in Papua New Guinea, The structure of bogorol A was elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic analyses and chemical degradation. Bogorol A illustrates a new structural template for "cationic peptide antibiotics".
