چکیده
Gilvocarcin V, isolated rom a Streptomyces culture showed activity against experimental tumors such as sarcoma 180, Ehrlich carcinoma, Meth 1 fibrosarcoma, MH134 hepatoma and lymphocytic leukemia P388. In particular, 40% of treated mice survived for 60 days, after intraperitoneal administration of gilvocarcin V to mice bearing Ehrlich ascites carcinoma. But it was marginally active against B16 melanoma and did not produce prolongation of lifespan of mice bearing Lewis lung carcinoma.

Gilvocarcins, new antitumor antibiotics. 2. Structural elucidation.
Gilvocarcin V(1), C27H28O9, m.p. 264 approximately 267 degrees C (dec.), and gilvocarcin M(2), C26H26O9, m.p. 245 approximately 248 degrees C (dec.), are new antitumor antibiotics produced by Streptomyces gilvotanareus. The structure of gilvocarcins has been determined by chemical degradation, nmr and mass spectra. They have a benzonaphtopyran-one system, to which the furanose moiety is linked ...
متن کاملGilvocarcins, new antitumor antibiotics. 5. Biosynthesis of gilvocarcins: incorporation of 13C-labeled compounds into gilvocarcin aglycones.
The biosynthesis of the aglycones of gilvocarcins V and M has been studied with 13C-labeled precursors. The aglycones have been shown to be formed via the acetate pathway and a route for their biosynthesis is proposed which involves secondary addition of an alkyl group.
متن کاملGilvocarcins, new antitumor antibiotics. 1. Taxonomy, fermentation, isolation and biological activities.
Gilvocarcin V and gilvocarcin M, a group of antitumor antibiotics with a novel skeleton, were discovered in culture broths of Actinomycete DO-38. The producing organism, subsequently determined to be a new species and named Streptomyces gilvotanareus (NRRL 11382). Gilvocarcin V and M were isolated by ethyl acetate extraction and chromatography on silica gel. The antibiotics are active against G...
متن کاملAntitumor agents from Streptomyces anandii: gilvocarcins V, M and E.
Very recently, ToMITA and coworkers' 2) have reported the fermentation, isolation and structure elucidation of gilvocarcins V (1) and M (2). They note that I was previously described under the name of toromycin by HORII et al.3) although the structure of toromycin was not elucidated. Recently we have isolated 1 and 2 and a related compound gilvocarcin E (3) from a culture of Streptomyces anandi...
متن کاملAntitumor activity of a new antitumor antibiotic, stubomycin.
The antitumor activity of a new antibiotic, stubomycin, against various murine tumors was studied. Stubomycin showed antitumor activity against Sarcoma 180, IMC-carcinoma and Meth-A tumor. In particular, all of the mice inoculated i.p. with IMC-carcinoma were cured when they were given nine successive injections of stubomycin. Stubomycin also showed remarkable antitumor effects against Sarcoma ...
