A new group of thiazolyl peptide antibiotics, the nocathiacins, was isolated from cultured broth of Nocardia sp. The major analogs nocathiacins I-III (1-3) were purified using silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 chromatography techniques. The structures of nocathiacins I-III were determined by spectroscopic (2D-NMR, MSn) methods, and share structural similarities to glycothiohexide-alpha (4).
