Abstract

The actinomycete DEM20745, collected from non-rhizosphere soil adjacent to Paraserianthes falactaria trees (Cangkringan, Indonesia), is an efficient producer of the anticancer ansamycin polyketide 17-O-demethyl-geldanamycin (17-O-DMG), a biosynthetic precursor of the Hsp90 inhibitor geldanamycin (GDM). In DEM20745, 17-O-DMG is the major ansamycin product observed reaching a maximum titre of 17 mg/L in the fermentation broth. 17-O-DMG has significant potential for direct use in anticancer therapy and is a key starting material for the semi-synthesis of GDM analogues. This preferential biosynthesis of 17-O-DMG facilitates easy access to this important molecule and provides further insight the biosynthesis of the geldanamycins.
