Carbomycin also known as magnamycin is a colorless optically active crystalline macrolide antibiotic with the molecular formula C42H67NO16. It is derived from the bacterium Streptomyces halstedii and active in inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and certain Mycoplasma strains. Its structure was first proposed by Robert Woodward in 1957 and was subsequently corrected in 1965.
