Chromomycin A 3 , an antitumor antibiotic: tissue distribution studies in mice as measured by microbial assay.
A microbiological assay has been developed for chromomycin A(3), an antitumor antibiotic showing promise in human trials. The assay bacterium is a derived strain of Streptococcus faecalis resistant to methotrexate. Studies with mice revealed that relatively high concentrations of this antibiotic were maintained in the blood, kidneys, and liver of mice after a single-dose intraperitoneal injecti...
متن کاملBleomycin, and antitumor antibiotic: improved microbiological assay and tissue distribution studies in normal mice.
A microbiological assay was developed for bleomycin, an antitumor antibiotic reported to be active in human trials. The assay bacterium was a strain of Escherichia coli which is resistant to ethionine. Studies revealed relatively high concentrations of bleomycin in the blood and urine of mice after a single dose, < 0.33 ld(10), injected intraperitoneally.
متن کاملBiogenesis of chromomycin A3 by Streptomyces griseus.
The biosynthesis of chromomycin A3 was investigated using 13C-labeled acetates, methionine and glucose, and 13C,18O-labeled acetate. 13C NMR spectral analysis demonstrated that: Aglycone assembly occurs by combining at least two polyketide chains; three of nine oxygen atoms of the aglycone originate from acetate precursor oxygen atoms; carbon methylations on the aromatic ring at C-7, on the chr...

Chromomycin A3 is an antitumor drug produced by Streptomyces griseus subsp. griseus. It consists of a tricyclic aglycone with two aliphatic side chains and two O-glycosidically linked saccharide chains, a disaccharide of 4-O-acetyl-D-oliose (sugar A) and 4-O-methyl-D-oliose (sugar B), and a trisaccharide of D-olivose (sugar C), D-olivose (sugar D), and 4-O-acetyl-L-chromose B (sugar E). The chr...
