Abstract

A new endothelin converting enzyme (ECE) inhibitor, TMC-66 was isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. A5008. The structure of TMC-66 was elucidated by spectroscopic analyses to be a new member of benzo[a]naphthacenequinone class of antibiotics. TMC-66 had a highly selective inhibitory activity for ECE with an IC50 value of 2.9 microM. Taxonomy of the producing strain is also described.
