Strain FIM06054 was isolated from a marine sponge sample collected from the East China Sea and was characterised as a strain of Verrucosispora genus on the basis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence. One new compound, FW054-1 (1), together with a known aminofuran compound proximicin A (2), was isolated from the culture broth of Verrucosispora sp. FIM06054. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis. 1 and 2 showed antiproliferative activity against several human tumour cell lines.
