The structure of hibarimicins A, B, C, D and G which are inhibitors for tyrosine specific protein kinase are determined using spectroscopic techniques. Hibarimicins described in this report consist of a common aglycon and six deoxyhexoses. The aglycon contains a highly oxidized naphtylnaphthoquinone as a chromophore. Among them, hibarimicin B was identical with angelmicin B
