“…Mimosamycin ( 1 ) (7-methoxy-2,6-dimethyl-3,5,8(2 H )-isoquinolinetrione) was the first member of a new class of naturally occurring 3,5,8(2 H )-isoquinolinetrione antibiotics, isolated as a satellite metabolite from the streptothricin-producing microorganism Streptomyces lavendulae No. 314 . Later, mimosamycin together with several structurally related pigments, e.g., 4-aminomimosamycin ( 2 ), 7-amino-7-demethoxymimosamycin ( 3 ), and the sulfur-containing perfragillin ( 4 ), have been identified in marine sponges of the genera Reniera , Petrosia , Xestospongia, and in the bryozoan Membranipora perfragilis …”
