Abstract
Balhimycin (1), C 66 H 73 Cl 2 N 9 O 24 , is a new glycopeptide antibiotic of the vancomycin class. It was isolated from the fermentation broth of an Amycolatopsis sp. Hoechst India Limited Y-86,21022. Its structure was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical degradation studies. The aglycon is identical to that of vancomycin. The molecule contains two sugars, D-glucose and dehydrovancosamine. The latter unit remains as a hydrate in solution
