Alazopeptin is an antibiotic, with moderate anti-trypanosomal [1] and antitumor activity. [2] It was originally isolated from Streptacidiphilus griseoplanus , sourced from soil near Williamsburg, Iowa. [3] It is also isolated from Kitasatospora azatica [2] It is still largely produced via fermentation broths of that organism. Structurally, alazopeptin is a tripeptide and contains 2 molecules of 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine and one molecule of L-alanine. [4] [5] In 2021 the biosynthetic pathway of alazopeptin was elucidated.
