Summary: | Using the characteristic morphological changes of mammalian cells, we screened novel antimitotic substances and found that a strain of Streptomyces sp. No.9885 produced FR182877. This substance was isolated from the culture broth by ethyl acetate extraction, silica gel column chromatography and ODS column chromatography. Structural studies on FR182877 suggested that it had a unique hexacyclic structure encompassing its highly strained double bond. FR182877 exhibited potent antitumor activities against murine ascitic tumor and solid tumor in vivo. |
