Comment: Nargenicin A1 is a macrolide antibacterial, first isolated from the soil-dwelling actinomycete Nocardia argentinensis [1]. It has narrow-spectrum Gram-positive antibacterial activity (principally anti-Staphylococcus activity), inhibiting bacterial DNA replication by targeting DNA polymerase III subunit alpha (DnaE) [3]. A more recent study has found that Nargenicin A1 has antimycobacterial activity and is an inhibitor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DnaE1 [2].
