Abstract

Streptomyces flaveolus, strain Tü 1240 produces besides Tirandamycin A, a hitherto unknown antibiotic, which is closely related to Tirandamycin A. The new antibiotic Tirandamycin B contains one additional hydroxylgroup. Both antibiotics exhibit a similar antimicrobial spectrum and they seem to have the same mechanism of action. According to the data obtained from mass spectrometry, 13C-and 1H-NMR spectra formula II could be deduced for Tirandamycin B.

Zusammenfassung

Ein Stamm von Streptomyces flaveolus, Tü 1240, bildet neben dem schon länger bekannten Tirandamycin A das Tirandamycin B, das sich durch eine zusätzliche Hydroxylgruppe von A unterscheidet. Beide Antibiotica besitzen ein ähnliches Wirkungsspektrum und offensichtlich gleichen Wirkunsmechanismus. Anhand der Daten aus der Massenspektrometric, der 13C-und 1H-NMR-Spektren läßt sich dem Tirandamycin B die Formel II zuordnen.
