alazopeptin alazopeptin alazopeptin is an antibiotic, with moderate anti-trypanosomal and antitumor activity. it was originally isolated from streptacidiphilus griseoplanus, sourced from soil near williamsburg, iowa. it is also isolated from kitasatospora azatica. it is still largely produced via fermentation broths of that organism. structurally, alazopeptin is a tripeptide and contains 2 molecules of 6-diazo-5-oxo-l-norleucine and one molecule of l-alanine. in 2021 the biosynthetic pathway of alazopeptin was elucidated. alazopeptinclinical dataatc codenoneidentifiers iupac name 6-diazo-2--5-oxohexanoic acid cas number1397-84-8 npubchem cid5486654chemspider16735646 nuniih2ql5cu7eqchemblchembl92957 nchemical and physical dataformulac15h20n6o5molar mass364.362 g·mol−13d model (jsmol)interactive image smiles c=ccnc(ccc(=c#n))c(=o)nc(ccc(=c#n))c(=o)o inchi inchi=1s/c15h20n6o5/c1-2-7-18-12(5-3-10(22)8-19-16)14(24)21-13(15(25)26)6-4-11(23)9-20-17/h2,8-9,12-13,18h,1,3-7h2,(h2-2,21,22,23,24,25,26)/b10-8-,11-9- nkey:rcqifjcpiwrtaf-wgeiwttosa-n n ny (what is this?)
