説明
The biosynthesis of antitumor antibiotic cytogenin, 3-hydroxymethyl-6-methoxy-8-hydroxyisocoumarin, was studied by feeding 14C- or 13C-labeled compounds to culture of the producing organism, Streptoverticillium eurocidicum MI43-37F11. 14C-Acetate and 14C-methionine were efficiently incorporated into cytogenin as precursors. 13C NMR studies proved that the carbon skeleton of cytogenin is derived from pentaketide intermediate due to head-to-tail condensation of five acetate units and methyl group of 6-OCH3 is derived from methionine. It was suggested that 3-hydroxymethyl and/or 6-methoxy group of cytogenin were metabolized by hydroxylation and/or methylation from three intermediates.
