The bacterium Streptomyces sp. KMM 9044 from a sample of marine sediment collected in the northwestern part of the Sea of Japan produces highly chlorinated depsiheptapeptides streptocinnamides A (1) and B (2), representatives of a new structural group of antibiotics. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined using nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry studies and confirmed by a series of chemical transformations. Streptocinnamide A potently inhibits Micrococcus sp. KMM 1467, Arthrobacter sp. ATCC 21022, and Mycobacterium smegmatis MC2 155.
