Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to novel compounds, comprising an 8- or 9-membered cyclic structure, wherein an (E)-1,4-dioxo-but-2-ene moiety is embedded in said cyclic structure and to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds. The compounds may be used as medicaments, in particular as medicaments for treating and preventing microbial infections, such as infections by multidrug resistant and/or Gram-positive bacteria. The invention further relates to fermentation processes wherein fungi of the genus Ulocladium are used for producing the novel compounds.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A compound comprising a lactone ring comprising a single (E)-7-hydroxy-4-oxo-hept-2-enoic acid. 2. The compound according to claim 1 , which is (E)-7-hydroxy-4-oxo-oct-2-enoic acid lactone. 3. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound according to claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 4. A method of treating a microbial infection comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a compound comprising a lactone ring comprising a single (E)-7-hydroxy-4-oxo-hept-2-enoic acid. 5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the microbial infection is a bacterial infection. 6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the bacterial infection is an infection by a multidrug resistant bacterium. 7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the bacterial infection is an infection by a Gram-positive bacterium. 8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the Gram-positive bacterium is a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus. 9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the Gram-positive bacterium is a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
