Nodusmicin

Nodusmicin is a co-metabolite of nargenicin, bearing the core macrocyclic lactone but lacking the pyrrole ester. Like nargenicin, nodusmicin is a potent antibiotic active against both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Lack of availability has restricted a more extensive investigation of nodusmicin.

Nodusmicin is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF or DMSO. Limited water solubility.
