The authors of the above article noticed and corrected the following error in the publication of this paper.

In ‘Physicochemical properties of iminimycin A (1)’ under the Results section, appearance and optical rotation were wrong.

Below is the corrected version of the subsection ‘Physicochemical properties of iminimycin A (1)’.

Compound 1 is readily soluble in H2O and MeOH and was obtained as a pale yellow oil ([α]D23.5−34 (c=0.1, MeOH), UV (MeOH) λmax (ɛ) 269 (2710) and 282 (2686), and IR νmax (KBr) cm−1 1682, 1404, 1203 and 1141).
