Produced by <i>Streptomyces</i> sp., these compounds show potent activity against a range of mycobacteria, including multidrug-resistant strains of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>. The cyclic peptides target the AAA+ protein ClpC1 that, together with the peptidases ClpP1/ClpP2, forms an essential ATP-driven protease. Derivatives of the ilamycins with a simplified tryptophane unit are synthesized in a straightfor ...[more]
