1,2,3,4-Tetrahydrobenzo [ a ] anthracene-7,12-dione: basic structure of the aglycone of the angucyclines

Angucyclines are a group of substances isolated from Streptomyces species with antibiotic and anti- neoplastic effects.

Chemically, they are glycosides , the aglycon of which has a cyclohexane - fused anthraquinone skeleton, the 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo [ a ] anthracene-7,12-dione . In addition to other substituents , the angucyclines have several hydroxyl groups . The glycosidic bond with the carbohydrate is in many cases on the A-ring of the aglycone.

They are related to the anthracyclines ; they differ from them in the cyclohexane ring fused to the anthracene at an angle (lat .: angulus ) .

properties

Angucyclines are mainly formed by actinomycetes . Over 100 metabolites of the angucycline have been described. They have a weak antibiotic effect against Gram-positive bacteria. The angucyclines include z. B. the aquayamycin and the dynemicin A as well as the landomycins , moromycins , saquayamycins , urdamycins and vineomycins . The aglycones of the angucyclines are called angucylinones .

use

Angucyclines are being studied for use as cytostatics against various types of cancer ( chemotherapy ).
