Three novel members of angucycline group from Streptomyces sp. N05WA963.

Three novel members of angucycline family named N05WA963A (1), B (2) and D (4), together with a new anthracycline named N05WA963C (3) were isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. N05WA963. The structures were elucidated on the basis of comprehensive spectral data analysis. All four compounds have shown antiproliferative effects on a panel of cancer cell lines such as SW620, K-562, MDA-MB-231, YES-4, T-98 and U251SP.
