Caerulomycin(cas 21802-37-9) is a rare and unusual antibiotic containing a core 2, 2’-bispyridyl with an oxime substituent, produced by a strain
of Streptomyces caeruleus isolated in Canada in 1959. Caerulomycin is active against fungi and some protozoans, and is
weakly active against bacteria. While its discovery has stimulated some synthetic effort, little is known about the mode and
spectrum of action of caerulomycin.
