The molecule is a monocarboxylic acid amide obtained by the formal condensation of the amino group of 3-amino-2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid with the carboxy group of the polycyclic cage component. It is an antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces platensis and exhibits inhibitory activity against fatty acid synthase. It has a role as an antibacterial agent, an antimicrobial agent, an EC 2.3.1.85 (fatty acid synthase) inhibitor and a bacterial metabolite. It is a cyclic ketone, a polycyclic cage, a dihydroxybenzoic acid, a monocarboxylic acid amide and an aromatic amide.
