Steffimycin C, a new member of the steffimycin anthracyclines. Isolation and structural characterization.

چکیده
Mother liquors from steffimycin B crystallizations have been processed to yield steffimycin C, a new member of the steffimycin family of anthracyclines. It has been identified, using spectroscopic methods, as 10-deoxysteffimycin B. Steffimycin C has antibacterial activity only against Streptococcus pneumoniae. Whether steffimycin C is a precursor of steffimycin B or a metabolic reduction product is unknown at this time.

Steffimycin B, a new member of the steffimycin family: isolation and characterization.
Steffimycin B, an anthracycline, has been isolated from cultures of Streptomyces elgreteus by solvent extraction and purified by silica gel chromatography. NM.R and mass spectroscopy indicate the presence of a methoxyl group in the sugar moiety of steffimycin B not found in steffimycin, a related antibiotic. Steffimycin B is not active against bacteria in experimentally infected animals, but ha...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of 8-demethoxy steffimycins and generation of 2,8-demethoxy steffimycins in Streptomyces steffisburgensis by the nogalamycin biosynthesis genes.
Streptomyces steffisburgensis (NRRL 3193, ATCC 27466) is described as a steffimycin producer. Steffimycin belongs to the anthracycline group of aromatic polyketide antibiotics. The structural analysis of the products accumulated by the wild type ATCC 27466 strain revealed three different forms of 8-demethoxy steffimycin suggesting the loss of C-8 hydroxylation/methylation activity. In our appro...
متن کاملIsolation, characterization, and heterologous expression of the biosynthesis gene cluster for the antitumor anthracycline steffimycin.
The biosynthetic gene cluster for the aromatic polyketide steffimycin of the anthracycline family has been cloned and characterized from "Streptomyces steffisburgensis" NRRL 3193. Sequence analysis of a 42.8-kbp DNA region revealed the presence of 36 open reading frames (ORFs) (one of them incomplete), 24 of which, spanning 26.5 kb, are probably involved in steffimycin biosynthesis. They code f...
متن کاملChemical modification of steffimycin B.
Fifteen 3-substituted analogues of steffimycin B (1) have been synthesized and their activity against P388 murine leukemia has been determined. Three of these were substantially more active than the parent compound.
متن کاملMicrobial conversion of steffimycin and steffimycin B to 10-dihydrosteffimycin and 10-dihydrosteffimycin B.
It has been shown that steffimycin (1) and steffmycin B (2) are reduced at the C-10 carbonyl by Actinoplanes utahensis, UC-5885 and Chaetomium sp., UC-4634, respectively. Using cell-free extracts of the latter organism, the optimum conversion time, pH, and enzyme concentration have been determined for the conversion of 2 to 4. The biochemical conversion of 2 has been found to be TPNH linked.
