• constants significantly differ for non-sulfated and per-O-sulfated furanosides which allows for a conclusion that their conformations are changed after the sulfation. To rationalize these changes, we undertook theoretical conformational analysis of monosaccharides 1–3 and 1s–3s. Conformational analysis of

• , anhydroisoheximide (4), cycloheximide (5), and isocycloheximide (6), were obtained from the cultures of Streptomyces sp. SC0581. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis in combination with theoretical conformational analysis and ECD computations. The photoinduced interconversion between

Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, theoretical conformational analysis, and ECD/TDDFT calculations. The photoinduced interconversion between 2 and 3 was observed and verified, and the possible reaction
