Abstract

α-Pyrones and natural products featuring an α-pyrone moiety are well known from bacteria, fungi, plants and animals, and they exhibit a wide range of biological activities. The germicidins are a family of microbial α-pyrone natural products, featuring a 4-hydroxy-α-pyrone core with varying alkyl substitutions at C-3 and C-6 (Figure 1). Identified as the first autoregulators of spore germination in Streptomyces, germicidin A (1) and B were first isolated from Streptomyces viridochromogenes NRRL B-1551 and subsequently re-isolated from S. coelicolor.
