Roseoflavin

Roseoflavin is an antibacterial pigment isolated from Streptomyces davawensis as an anti-metabolite of riboflavin. Roseoflavin has been shown to be an important regulator of bacterial gene expression by binding to untranslated regions of RNA, so-called ribo-switching sites.

Roseoflavin is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO.
