Application Notes
Clazamycins A and B were isolated from culture filtrates of Streptomyces No. MF990-BF4 and the structure of clazamycin A was determined by X-ray diffraction methods.1-2) Clazamycins exist in aqueous solution as an epimeric mixture of clazamycins A and B.1-3) Clazamycins had weak antibacterial activity and inhibited leukemia L-1210 in mice.1) Note: Clazamycin B is contained (< 5%) as an equilibrium isomer of clazamycin A. The ratio of
clazamycin A and B is pH dependent.1)It is recommended to resolve into acidic solution (recommended pH is < 3) due to avoid equilibration and decomposition. The stock solution shouldbe stored at 4°C or lower, and should be used within a couple of days.

Description
Clazamycin A is an antibiotic and microbial metabolite originally isolated from Streptomyces bacteria[2]. It is a pyrrolizidine compound with the molecular formula C7H9ClN2O[1]. This organic compound has demonstrated activity against various bacteria, including Staphylococcus species[2].
In addition to its antibacterial properties, Clazamycin A has also been studied for its potential antitumor effects[5]. Research has shown that it exists in aqueous solution as one of two epimers, alongside Clazamycin B[5].
Clazamycin A is primarily used as a research compound in life sciences[4]. It is available commercially in various forms, including as a hydrochloride salt[2][3]. The compound's unique structure and biological activities make it an interesting subject for further investigation in both antimicrobial and cancer research fields.
