The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

In summary, the structure elucidation revealed 1 to be closely related to lactonamycin, differing solely by the presence of an hydroxy group at C-3′ and the relative stereochemistry at C-4′ of the sugar moiety. Further differences are possible with respect to the absolute configuration, which has been determined for lactonamycin by X-ray crystallographic and optical rotation analysis). The antibacterial activities of 1 were determined by an agar plate diffusion assay. A weak activity against Gram-positive bacteria was detected as shown in Table 2. The antitumor activity of 1 was tested according to NCI guidelines) with human cell lines from gastric adenocarcinoma (HMO2), breast carcinoma (MCF 7), and hepatocellular carcinoma (Hep G2). 1 strongly inhibited the proliferation of HMO2 (IC50 value: 0.19 μg/m1), whereas the effects on MCF 7 and Hep G2 cell lines were less pronounced. The growth is inhibited in the G2/M cell cycle phase.
