Abstract: Three Amicoumacin group compounds 1-3 were discovered by UPLC-DAD-MS analysis from the fermentation broth of strain XZ7,a Bacillus sp. isolated from soil of Damxung County in Tibet. The three compounds were isolated by reversed-phase column chromatography and further purified by high performance liquid chromatography. Their chemical structures were elucidated as Bacilosarcin A (1),Bacilosarcin B (2) and Bacilosarcin C (3) by combinational analysis of spectral data including UV,HR-ESI-MS,NMR and comparison with those of literature. Antimicrobial assay showed compound 2 had the strongest antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus with MIC values of 4-16 μg/mL. Both compound 1 and 2 exhibited cytotoxicity against HepG2 cell line,but compound 2 showed stronger cytotoxic activity with IC50 value of 2.8 μM. Meanwhile,IC50 values of compound 2 against MCF-7 and HeLa cell lines were 6.2 μM and 4.0 μM,respectively.
