Naphthomycin A is a type of naphthomycin. It was isolated as a yellow pigment from Streptomyces collinus and it shows antibacterial antifungal and antitumor activities. Naphthomycins have the longest ansa aliphatic carbon chain of the ansamycin family. Biosynthetic origins of the carbon skeleton from PKS1 were investigated by feeding 13C-labeled precursors and subsequent 13C-NMR product analysis.
