New anthracycline glycosides: 4-O-demethyl-11-deoxydoxorubicin and analogues from Streptomyces peucetius var. aureus.

Abstract

The new anthracyclines 4-O-demethyl-11-deoxydoxorubicin, 4-O-demethyl-11-deoxydaunorubicin along with its 13-dihydro and 13-deoxo analogues are the main components of the anthracycline complex produced by cultures of Streptomyces peucetius var. aureus. They were isolated by solvent partition, separated by column chromatography and characterized by chemical and physical methods. Among these new anthracyclines, displaying antibacterial and cytotoxic activity "in vitro", 4-O-demethyl-11-deoxydoxorubicin and the corresponding daunorubicin analogue were also active against experimental tumors.
