摘要:
New antitumor agents designated MA 144-M.sub.1 and MA 144-M.sub.2, which are anthracycline glycosides and inhibit the growth of gram-positive bacteria, e.g. Staphyococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Sarcina lutea, and inhibit the growth of animal tumors such as leukemia L 1210, P 388 and sarcoma 180 are produced by fermentation of MA 144-producing strains of streptomyces and by the chemical or enzymatic conversion of aclacinomycin A or cinerubin A.
摘要:
New anthracycline glycosides designated MA 144-G1, -G2, -L, -S1, -N1, -U1 and -Y which inhibit the growth of gram-positive bacteria and experimental animal tumors are produced by fermentation of certain species of Streptomyces and by the chemical or enzymatic conversion of certain anthracycline glycosides. New microbiological and chemical processes are also provided for preparation of the anthracycline glycosides MA 144-S2 and -U2 which have been found to be identical with the previously reported anthracyclines, marcellomycin and musettamycin.
摘要:
There is provided a process for recovering macromomycin (hereinafter referred to as MCR) which comprises adding coagulants or coagulants and neutralizers to a culture filtrate saturated with ammonium sulfate and collecting the resulting precipitate containing MCR in a high yield at low centrifugal force. From the precipitate obtained, MCR powders can be prepared according to the methods described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,595,954 and others.
摘要:
A novel, unique nucleoside, 3-.beta.-D-ribofuranosyl-3,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d][1,3]diazepin-7-ol, named isocoformycin, of the formula ##STR1## is provided by ring expansion of derivatives of 9-.beta.-D-ribofuranosyl-6-hydroxymethyl-1,6-dihydropurine. Isocoformycin markedly inhibits deaminating enzymes which inactivate formycin and adenine arabinoside (also known as ara-A and Vidarabine). Formycin and adenine arabinoside are used as antiviral and antitumor agents in mammals and birds and isocoformycin is advantageous to prolong the activity and effect of formycin and adenine arabinoside.
摘要:
This invention provides a new chemical named bestatin which inhibits aminopeptidase B, leucine aminopeptidase and bleomycin hydrolase, enhances the antitumor effect of bleomycin, has the chemical name [(2S,3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoyl]-L-leucine and has the following structure: ##STR1## and also provides a process for the production thereof which comprises cultivating a strain of streptomyces which produces bestatin in a nutrient medium under aerobic conditions until substantial activity inhibitory to aminopeptidase B is imparted to said cultured medium and then recovering said bestatin from said cultured medium. A preferred strain is Streptomyces olivoreticuli FERM-P No. 2590 (A.T.C.C. 31159).
摘要:
As new compounds are now provided N-methyl-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)serine alkyl esters which are effective as an .alpha.-adrenergic and .beta.-adrenergic agent to stimulate the .alpha.-adrenergic and .beta.-adrenergic functions of the central nervous system of mammalian animals and are expectable to be useful for therapeutic treatment of disorders as invoked by reduced biological activities or functions of the .alpha.- and/or .beta.-adrenergic neurons. N-methyl-L-threo-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)serine (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkyl esters are preferred amongst the new compounds of this invention.
摘要:
Mycaminosyl tylonolide derivatives represented by the following general formula ##STR1## (wherein R.sup.1 denotes hydroxyl group, a lower alkanoyloxy group, benzoyloxy group, azido group, or amino group which may optionally be substituted with a lower alkyl or a lower alkanoyl radical; R.sup.2 stands for hydrogen atom or hydroxyl group; R.sup.3 expresses hydrogen atom or formyl group; and means a double bond or a radical represented by ##STR2## and salts thereof.
摘要:
2,6-Dideoxy-2-fluoro-L-talopyranose and 1-substituted derivatives thereof, including methyl 2,6-dideoxy-2-fluoro-L-talopyranoside and 3,4-di-O-protected-2,6-dideoxy-2-fluoro-L-talopyranosyl halides, are now provided and these new compounds are useful as intermediates for use in the synthesis of new compounds having antitumor activity, especially 7-O-(2,6-dideoxy-2-fluoro-.alpha.-L-talopyranosyl) daunomycinone or -adriamycinone. 2,6-Dideoxy-2-fluoro-L-talopyranose shows antibacterial activity. 2,6-Dideoxy-fluoro-L-talopyranose and the 1-substituted derivatives thereof may be produced by a multi-stage process starting from L-fucose.
摘要:
For the preparation of 4'-0-tetrahydropyranyladriamycin b, the 9,14-position of the starting adriamycin is previously protected with phenylboronic acid and then the 4'-position of the thus protected adriamycin is selectively tetrahydropyranylated. After the tetrahydropyranylation, the by-product of 4'-0-tetrahydropyranyladriamycin a is converted to the aimed product of 4'-0-tetrahydropyranyladriamycin b. The yield of the product of 4'-0-tetrahydropyranyladriamycin b is high.The present invention provides a method for the preparation of 4'-0-tetrahydropyranyladriamycin b, where 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran is added to a reaction solution containing a 9,14-protected adriamycin as obtained by (a) reacting adriamycin and phenyl-boronic acid or (b) reacting 4'-0-tetrahydropyranyladriamycin b and phenylboronic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst, for 4'-tetrahydropyranylation of the said 9,14-protected adriamycin, and then, the 9,14-protected position of the resulting product is deprotected and 4'-0-tetrahydropyranyladriamycin b is isolated by chromatography with silica-gel.
