. It was first isolated from the MK756-CF1 strain of Streptomyces in 2010.[1] Chemically, it contains a substituted γ-pyrone ring and a p-nitrophenyl group that is rarely found in nature.

Arabilin acts as an androgen antagonist,[1] and therefore has attracted research interest in its potential pharmacological use.[2][3] A laboratory synthesis of arabilin has been reported.[4][5]

Related compounds also isolated from Streptomyces include spectinabilin and SNF4435C.[1]
