title: Anthracycline antibiotic 2-hydroxyaclacinomycins. II. Production of 2-hydroxyaclacinomycins A and B by a new recombinant strain and their antitumor activities.
abstract: Anthracycline antibiotics 2-hydroxyaclacinomycins A and B were isolated and purified from the culture broth of a recombinant strain which was produced by protoplast fusion of two aclacinomycin-blocked mutants. 2-Hydroxyaclacinomycin B is a new compound for which chemical structure and the biological activity in vitro were determined. 2-Hydroxyaclacinomycins had a stronger antitumor activity against murine leukemic L1210 cells in mice than the parent antibiotic aclacinomycins.
