S-Dihydrodaidzein ((3S)-7-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydrochromen-4-one) is an enantiomer of dihydrodaidzein which is involved in equol biosynthesis in a lactic acid bacterium, Lactococcus sp. strain.

Tropodithietic acid, a sulfur-containing antibiotic produced by the marine bacterium Phaeobacter inhibens, exhibits potent antibiotic efficacy across a diverse array of bacteria, encompassing alpha- and gammaproteobacteria, flavobacteria, and actinobacteria.

Carubicin is an anthracycline antineoplastic antibiotic isolated from the bacterium Actinomadura carminata. Carubicin intercalates into DNA and interacts with topoisomerase II, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and repair and RNA and protein synthesis.

Polymyxin B2 is an antibiotic primarily utilized for resistant Gram-negative infections. It is derived from the bacterium Bacillus polymyxa.

Bicyclomycin is a broad spectrum antibiotic active against Gram-negative bacteria and the Gram-positive bacterium, Micrococcus luteusn.

α-D-Glucose-1,6-bisphosphate is abis-phosphorylated derivative of α-D-glucose that has roles in carbohydrate metabolism.1It is the product of the reaction of glucose-1- or 6-phosphate with glucose-1,6-bisphosphate synthase (PGM2LI) in the conversion of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate.2It is also a cofactor for the bacterial enzyme phosphopentomutase.3,4α-D-Glucose-1,6-bisphosphate has been used in the study of carbohydrate metabolism. 1.Beitner, R.Regulation of carbohydrate metabolism by glucose 1,6-bisphosphate in extrahepatic tissues; comparison with fructose 2,6-bisphosphateInt.

Deoxyfusapyrone is an α-pyrone fungal metabolite originally isolated from F. semitectum and has antifungal activity. It is active against C. neoformans, A. fumigatus, A. niger, and A. flavus human mycoses (MICs = 1.56-6.25 μg/ml). Deoxyfusapyrone is also active against a variety of filamentous fungi, but not yeast or the bacterium B. megaterium, in a disc assay.

Monensin B is a polyketide compound derived from the bacterium Streptomyces cinnamonensis. Its production involves the fermentation of Streptomyces cinnamonensis, resulting in a mixture of Monensin A and Monensin B. The ratio of these two compounds depends on the concentrations of ethylmalonyl-CoA and methylmalonyl-CoA.

1. alpha-Cyperone (α-Cyperone) is a promising inhibitor of Hla production by S. aureus and protects lung cells from this bacterium. 2. alpha-Cyperone significantly inhibited PGE2 production by suppressing the LPS-induced expression of inducible COX-2 at both the mRNA and the protein levels , downregulated the production and mRNA expression of the inflammatory cytokine IL-6. 3. alpha-Cyperone inhibited actin cytoskeleton polymerization induced by APEC-O78 through down regulating the expression of Nck-2, Cdc42 and Rac1.
