Abstract

Chemical analysis of a marine-derived Streptomyces sp. (CMB-M0423) isolated from beach sand off Heron Island, Australia, yielded three new members of the rare pyrroloterpene biosynthetic structure class. Identified by detailed spectroscopic analysis as the first reported examples of naturally occurring 2-nitropyrroles, heronapyrroles A-C (1-3) displayed promising biological activity-with low to submicromolar IC50 activity against Gram-positive bacteria but no cytotoxicity toward mammalian cell lines.
