J. Kohno et al., TMC-171A, B, C and TMC-154, novel polyketide antibiotics produced by Gliocladium sp TC 1304 and TC 1282, J ANTIBIOT, 52(12), 1999, pp. 1114-1123
Four new antibiotics, TMC-171A (2), B (3), C (4) and TMC-154 (5) have been
isolated from the fermentation of fungal strains Gliocladium sp. TC 1304 an
d TC 1282, respectively. Spectroscopic and degradation studies have shown t
hat TMC-171s and TMC-154 were new members of the TMC-151 class of antibioti
cs, unique polyketides modified with a D-mannose and a D-mannitol or a D-ar
abitol. These compounds showed moderate cytotoxicity to various tumor cell
lines.
