A novel methymycin analog, 12-ketomethymycin N-oxide, was produced by the heterologous expression of the pikromycin/methymycin biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptomyces sp. AM4900 together with 12-ketomethymycin, which was only isolated by the biotransformation of the synthetic intermediate before. Their structures were determined by the spectroscopic data and the chemical derivatization. 12-Ketomethymycin showed a weak cytotoxicity against SKOV-3 and Jurkat cells, although its N-oxide analog did not show any activity. Both showed n
