Comment: Myxopyronin is a natural product with antibacterial activity, originally isolated from cultures of the soil-dwelling myxobacterium Myxococcus fulvus as a mixture of two components (myxopyronin A and myxopyronin B) [5]. Total synthesis has been reported [4]. We show the structure for myxopyronin B which is reported to be the component with the greater activity [5]. Functionally, it inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase [5].
