The Antibiotics of the Pluramycin Group (4 H-Anthra [1,2-b] pyran Antibiotics)

  • Chapter
Fortschritte der Chemie organischer Naturstoffe / Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products

Abstract

The pluramycin-like antibiotics are a group of highly substituted 4H-anthra[1,2-b]pyran-4,7,12-triones. They show antitumor and antimicrobial activity and have thus mainly been investigated for their biological activities. Their chemical instability and photolability make their handling difficult. This review stresses the chemical aspects of the pluramycin antibiotics; their biochemical properties will, however, also be summarized.
