Spicamycin, a New Differentiation Inducer of Mouse Myeloid Leukemia Cells (Ml) and Human Promyelocytic Leukemia Cells (HL-60)

抄録

A new antibiotic was obtained from the culture broth of Streptomyces alanosinicus 879-MT₃, and the name spicamycin was given. Spicamycin had a marked effect on the induction of differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60) as well as mouse myeloid leukemia cells (Ml). Its structure was elucidated by degradative studies and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral analysis as shown in Fig. 1.
