Antibiotic UCN-02 is a indolocarbazole isolated from a high staurosporine-producing Streptomyces culture. UCN-02 is isolated as a minor co-metabolite of high producing staurosporine strains of selected actinomycetes. Although less selective than its isomer UCN-01, UCN-02 exhibits comparable activity and probably acts by similar mechanisms.
