NOGALAMYCIN Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Nogalamycin is an unusual anthracycline produced by Streptomyces nogalater var. nogalater, reported by researchers at Upjohn in 1965. Nogalamycin contains two saccharides. The neutral monosaccharide attaches to the D ring, similar to the aminoglycoside moieties of the doxorubicin class, while the second, basic saccharide attaches to the phenolic group on the A ring in the ortho position to form a unique family of hexacyclic anthracyclines. Nogalamycin is potent antibacterial and antitumor agent that interacts with DNA by intercalation.

Uses

Nogalamycin (cas# 1404-15-5) is a compound useful in organic synthesis.

Definition

ChEBI: Nogalamycin is an anthracycline antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces nogalater. It is a DNA intercalator and exhibits anticancer properties. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, a cardiotoxic agent, a bacterial metabolite and an intercalator. It is a methyl ester, a polyketide, an anthracycline antibiotic, a tertiary amino compound, a monosaccharide derivative, an organic heterohexacyclic compound and a tetrol.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anthracyclic antitumor antibiotic.

Safety Profile

Poison by intravenous andintraperitoneal routes. Human mutation data reported. Anantibiotic. When heated to decomposition it emits toxicfumes of NOx.
