Salinamide BSalinamide B is currently being studied as an anti-inflammatory agent produced by the marine bacterium Streptomyces.
Chemical Formula:
C51H72Cl1N7O16
Other names:
Salinamide B monohydrate
Layman's explanation:
Salinamide B is produced by the marine bacterium Streptomyces, an actinomycete
that has been isolated from the surface of the jellyfish Cassiopeia xamachana,
collected from the Florida Keys. Salinamide B shows moderate antibiotic
activity against Gram-positive bacteria and exhibits potent topical
anti-inflammatory activity. The biosynthesis of salinamide is currently being
studied with hopes of generating unnatural salinamide analogues, which would be
used to further understand its anti-inflammatory properties. Salinamide is
thought to be a possible contender in the treatment of some forms of arthritis.
