Diketopiperazine derivative from marine actinomycetes Nocardiopsis sp. SCA30 with antimicrobial activity against MRSA

Actinobacteria isolated from marine sources are a potential source of novel natural products. In this study, we report isolation, biological activity and characterization of secondary metabolites from strain Nocardiopsis sp. SCA30, isolated from marine sediments of Havelock Islands, Andaman and Nicobar, India. The ethyl acetate extracts of the isolate on screening for biological activity demonstrated antibacterial potency and antiproliferative...
