Abstract

Two new avemectin analogues 1 and 2 belonging to ‘b’ series of components were isolated from a ∆aveCDE mutant Streptomyces avermectinius strain. Their structures were elucidated by detailed analysis of NMR and MS spectroscopic data. Compounds 1 and 2 displayed moderate cytotoxicities against B16, MG-63, and Saos-2 cell lines in an in vitro assay.
