The new antibiotic, UK-3A, is a nine-ring dilactone derivative isolated from the mycelium Streptomyces sp. 512-02 and has been shown to be active in inhibiting the growth of bacteria and cancer cells. The functional groups of hydroxy, amide, and nine-ring dilactone are the active groups present in UK-3A compounds. A new UK-3A, L-dihexylpycolinyl glutamate ester (HPG) was synthesized with two step, firstly, esterification reaction between L-glutamic acid and hexanol by p-TsOH as catalyst. Secondly, amidase reactions with 3-hydroxy-picolinic acid using DCC/DMAP. The final product was identified using UV, FT-IR, LC-MS, 1 H-NMR, and 13 C-NMR. The HPG produced was oily chocolate with a yield of 70.76%. The toxicity test of Artemia salina L shrimp larvae showed that HPG had an LC 50 value of 660.47 ppm. The activity of this compound was carried out on murine leukemia P-388 cancer cells, the HPG showed a better in inhibibitory ability to cancer cell growth (IC 50 ) than UK-3A compounds, the value of 8.4 ppm.
