Cebulactams A1 and A2, new macrolactams isolated from Saccharopolyspora cebuensis, the first obligate marine strain of the genus Saccharopolyspora

The new macrolactams cebulactams A1 and A2 were isolated from an extract of the first obligate marine strain of the genus Saccharopolyspora. Their constitutionally identical structures, each bearing a six-membered cyclic ether as part of the macrocycle, and their relative configurations were elucidated by MS methods and by 1D and 2D NMR techniques.
