Antibacterial agents cis-BM123{65 {HD 1 {B and cis-BM123{65 {HD 2

摘要

This disclosure describes two new antibacterial agents designated cis-BM123 gamma 1 and cis-BM123 gamma 2 produced by a novel photolytic process whereby trans-BM123 gamma 1 and trans-BM123 gamma 2 are transformed to their corresponding cis-isomers. The new antibacterial agents are active against a variety of microorganisms and thus are useful in inhibiting the growth of such bacteria wherever they may be found.
