The molecule is a heterodetic cyclic peptide, in which the cyclisation step involves a formal lactonisation between the carboxy group of a quinaldic acid-based residue and a secondary alcohol. An antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. Also acts as an antitumor agent. It has a role as an antibacterial drug, a metabolite, a protein synthesis inhibitor and an antineoplastic agent.
