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.[6][7]
