Lydicamycin belongs to a novel structural class with highly selective antibiotic activity. Recent research has shown that lydicamycin and the related metabolites, TPU-0037A and TPU-0037C, are highly active against MRSA. Lydicamycin is also closely related to BN 4515N which was isolated from a strain of Microtetraspora as a neuritogenic agent.
Lydicamycin is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF or DMSO. Poor water solubility.
