description <i>Streptomyces</i> remains one of the prolific sources of structural diversity, and a reservoir to mine for novel natural products. Continued screening for new Streptomyces strains in our laboratory led to the isolation of <i>Streptomyces</i> sp. RK44 from the underexplored areas of Kintampo waterfalls, Ghana, Africa. Preliminary screening of the metabolites from this strain resulted in the characterization of a new 2-alkyl-4-hydroxymethylfuran carboxamide (AHFA) <b>1</b> together with five known compounds, cyclo-(L-Pro-Gly) <b>2</b>, cyclo-(L-Pro-L-Phe) <b>3</b>, cyclo-(L-Pro-L-Val) <b>4</b>, cyclo-(L-Leu-Hyp) <b>5</b>, and deferoxamine E <b>6</b>. AHFA <b>1</b>, a methylenomycin (MMF) homolog, exhibited anti-proliferative activity (EC<sub>50</sub> = 89.6 &#181;M) against melanoma A2058 cell lines. This activity, albeit weak is the first report amongst MMFs. Furthermore, the putative biosynthetic gene cluster (<i>ahfa</i>) was identified for the biosynthesis of AHFA <b>1</b>. DFO-E <b>6</b> displayed potent anti-plasmodial activity (IC<sub>50</sub> = 1.08 &#181;M) against <i>P. falciparum</i> 3D7. High-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR ESIMS) and molecular network assisted the targeted-isolation process, and tentatively identified six AHFA analogues, <b>7</b>&#8722;<b>12</b> and six siderophores <b>13</b>&#8722;<b>18</b>.
