Comment: Mureidomycins are ureidyl peptide nucleoside antibacterial compounds, originally isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces flavidoviridens as a mixture of four components (mureidomycin A-D) [3]. We show the structure for mureidomycin C which is reported to have the most potent antibacterial activity [5]. Functionally, mureidomycin C inhibits phospho-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide-transferase (MraY, translocase I) [4], an essential enzyme in bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis.
