A new antitumor antibiotic, stubomycin.

Abstract
A new antibiotic, stubomycin, was isolated from the culture broth and mycelia of Streptomyces strain No. KG-2245. Stubomycin was prepared as colorless plates and has the empirical formula C29H35NO5. The antibiotic possesses growth inhibitory activity against gram-positive bacteria and transplantable murine tumors such as Ehrlich carcinoma and leukemia P388. The antibiotic also shows direct cytotoxic activity against [human cervical carcinoma] HeLa cells in vitro.
