| Title:  Enduracidin CAS Registry Number:  11115-82-5 Additional Names:  Enramycin Literature References:  Cyclodepsipeptide antibiotic produced by Streptomyces fungicidicus, strain no. B5477, from a soil sample collected in Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan:  Higashide et al., J. Antibiot. 21, 126 (1968).  Originally thought to be a single compound.  Isoln and characterization:  Asai et al., ibid. 138; FR 1514139; GB 1163270 (1968, 1969 to Takeda).  Manufacturing process:  JP Kokai 82 79896 (1982 to Takeda), C.A. 97, 108525s (1982).  Separation into two components, enduracidins A and B:  Hori et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull. 21, 1171 (1973).  The two components are each composed of seventeen amino acids, sixteen of which form a macrocyclic peptide lactone, and only differ by one methylene group in their fatty acid moieties.
