Eliamid nematocidal activity

Sorangium cellulosum is an ubiquitous soil bacterium that belongs to the order Myxococcales. It has the ability to glide over solid surfaces, to live in a biofilm and form fruiting bodies. Members of this taxon are a particularly rich source of metabolites with remarkable biological activities [177]. From one strain, another example of N-acyl-4-methoxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones has been isolated. Eliamid (110) has been claimed to have cytostatic, nematocidal and fungicidal activities [178].
