In the course of our screening for antitumor antibiotics which show biological activities by generating active oxygen in tumor cells, Micromonospora sp. JY16 was found to produce a new anthracycline antibiotic designated cororubicin. The structure of cororubicin was elucidated as shown in Fig. 5 on the basis of NMR spectral analysis. Cororubicin generated superoxide radicals in tumor cells and showed cytotoxicity, which was reduced by addition of an antioxidative agent, dithiothreitol (DTT). © 1994, JAPAN ANTIBIOTICS RESEARCH ASSOCIATION.
