Actaplanin is a complex of broad-spectrum antibiotics made by Actinoplanes bacteria.[1][2] Research carried out by a group in Eli Lilly and Co. in 1984 identified several actaplanins using high-performance liquid chromatography.[3][4][5] Actaplanins A, B1, B2, B3, C1 and G were shown to be composed of the same peptide core, an amino sugar, and varying amounts of glucose, mannose, and rhamnose.[6]
