During our search for new antiprotozoal (antimalarial and antitrypanosomal) agents, we have tested culture extracts of soil microorganisms from a variety of sources, including those isolated by the Kitasato Institute for Life Sciences and the Bioresource Laboratories, Micro-Biopharm Japan Corporation. We have previously discovered a variety of microbial metabolites exhibiting antiprotozoal, 1, 2 antimalarial 3, 4 and antitrypanosomal properties. 5, 6 Recently, we have isolated a new derivative of pactamycin, designated as jogyamycin (Figure 1), from a culture broth of Streptomyces sp. a-WM-JG-16.2. This compound has proved to have potent antiprotozoal activity (Table 2). Here, we report the fermentation, isolation, structure elucidation and biological activity of this novel aminocyclopentitol antibiotic. The producing organism, strain a-WM-JG-16.2 was isolated from a soil sample collected in Jogjakarta, Indonesia, using the sucrose density gradient centrifugation method. 7 Using the basic local alignment search tool (BLAST), we compared the 16S rRNA gene sequences available in the EzTaxon server to identify the species of strain a-WM-JG-16.2. Streptomyces sp. a-WM-JG-16.2 was classified as a species of the genus Streptomyces; the 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison showing a 100% similarity with S. griseoruber NBRC12873 (AB184209).The strain was cultured on a rotary shaker (220 rpm) at 281C for 5 days in 500-ml Erlenmeyer flasks (20 flasks) containing 50ml of a production medium containing 2% rice starch (Rose brand, Cikampek, Indonesia), 2% glucose (Univar, Sydney, NSW, Australia), 2% soybean meal (J-Oil Mills, Tokyo, Japan), 0.5% yeast extract
