N-Salicyl-amino acid derivatives with antiparasitic activity from Pseudomonas sp. UIAU-6B by Joy E. Rajakulendran, Emmanuel Tope Oluwabusola, Michela Cerone, Terry K. Smith, Olusoji O. Adebisi, Adefolalu Adedotun, Gagan Preet, Sylvia Soldatou, Hai Deng, Rainer Ebel, Marcel Jaspars

“…In this study, we isolated two previously undescribed N-salicyl-amino acids as natural products (1 and 2) and other two new derivatives (3 and 4) from the organic extract of a culture broth in a modified starch–glucose–glycerol (SGG) medium of Pseudomonas sp. UIAU-6B. The structure of the new natural products, pseudomonins D–G (1–4) isolated alongside other three known compounds, pseudomonine (5), pseudomonin B (6) and salicylic acid (7), were elucidated based on high-resolution mass spectrometry, 1D and 2D NMR analyses. …”
