Lavendamycin is a naturally occurring chemical discovered in fermentation broth of the soil bacterium Streptomyces lavendulae. Lavendamycin has antibiotic properties and significant anti-proliferative effects against several cancer cell lines. The use of lavendamycin as cytotoxic to cancer therapy failed due to poor water solubility and non-specific cytotoxicity.
