Bacterial phospho-N-acetylmuramyl-pentapeptide translocase (translocase I: EC 2.7.8.13) is a key enzyme in peptidoglycan biosynthesis, and a known target of antibiotics. Here we report a new nucleoside inhibitor for translocase I, A-102395, isolated from the culture broth of the strain Amycolatopsis sp. SANK 60206. A-102395 is a new derivative of capuramycin that has the benzene with a uniquely substituted chain instead of an aminocaprolactam. A-102395 is a potent inhibitor of bacterial translocase I with IC50 value of 11 nM, but possesses no antimicrobial activity against various strains tested.
