K. Takahashi et al., SW-163C and E, novel antitumor depsipeptides produced by Streptomyces sp II. Structure elucidation, J ANTIBIOT, 54(8), 2001, pp. 622-627
SW-163C and E are novel antitumor antibiotics, which belong to quinomycin f
amily, isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. SNA15896. These
compounds were determined to be cyclic depsipeptides having 3-hydroxyquinal
dic acid as a chromophore and a sulfur-containing intramolecular cross link
age through various spectroscopic analyses.
