Abstract

In-built diversification: Four ansa macrolides, divergolidesa A-D (1-4), with intriguing structures were isolated from a bacterial endophyte of the mangrove tree Bruguiera gymnorrhiza. These compounds are generated by a common biogenesis from a linear precursor that undergoes various reactions to give the multicyclic structures. This remarkable plasticity results in metabolites with different antibacterial and cytotoxic properties.
