New anthracycline antibiotics produced by interspecific recombinants of streptomycetes. III. Isolation and structure of iremycin.
The structure of the anthracycline antibiotic iremycin isolated from Streptomyces violaceus subspecies iremyceticus has been elucidated as 10-(alpha-L-rhodosaminyl)-gamma-rhodomycinone (I) on the basis of spectroscopic analyses and chemical reactions.
