Structure elucidation of the glycopeptide antibiotic complex A40926

TLDR
The structure of the two factors of the novel glycopeptide antibiotic A40926 have been determined using a combination of FAB-MS, GC-MS and 1H n.r.m. studies.
Abstract
The structure of the two factors of the novel glycopeptide antibiotic A40926 have been determined using a combination of FAB-MS, GC-MS and 1H n.m.r. studies. A40926 Is a member of the vancomycin family of antibiotics and is structurally related to teicoplanin, A35512B and aridicin.

Antibacterial activities and modes of action of vancomycin and related glycopeptides.

TL;DR: Vancomycin (21) is produced by Amycolatopsis orientalis (18) (previously designated Nocardia orientalists and Streptomyces orientalises) and is used to treat gram-positive bacterial infections.

A40926, a new glycopeptide antibiotic with anti-Neisseria activity.

TL;DR: A40926 was rapidly bactericidal for N. gonorrhoeae clinical isolates at concentrations equal to or slightly higher than the MIC and levels in serum were higher and more prolonged than those of an equivalent subcutaneous dose of teicoplanin, suggesting that A40926 may have potential in the therapy of gonorrhea.
