title: Sandramycin, a novel antitumor antibiotic produced by a Nocardioides sp. Production, isolation, characterization and biological properties.
abstract: A new antitumor antibiotic, sandramycin, was isolated from cultured broth of a Nocardioides sp. (ATCC 39419) and purified by solvent partition and column chromatography. Sandramycin, a new depsipeptide, was moderately active in vitro against Gram-positive organisms and in vivo against leukemia P388 in mice.
