Synonyms: Siamycin-I
Compound class:
Peptide
Comment: Siamycin I is an antimicrobial lasso peptide produced by Streptomyces sp. AA6532 and originally isolated from soil samples [5]. Siamycin I exhibits both antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria [2] and antiviral activity against the HIV virus, interacting with HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein 160 (gp160) which is essential for fusion of the viral envelope with the host cell membrane [3].
