In screening actinomycetes for antitumor compounds, Streptomyces sp. DO-116 was found to produce a new antitumor antibiotic sapurimycin. It is structurally related to, but distinct from, kapurimycins. The antibiotic was produced in a fermentation medium supplemented with high porous polymer resin which adsorbs antibiotic in the culture and results in an increase of titer. Active material was separated from the polymer resin by a solvent extraction procedure and isolated by repeated solvent extraction, adsorption chromatography and HPLC. Sapurimycin was active against bacteria, particularly Gram-positive organisms. It exhibited antitumor activity against leukemia P388 and sarcoma 180 in mice. Sapurimycin caused single strand breaks in supercoiled plasmid DNA in vitro. These results are discussed in comparison with data for kapurimycins.

D007941 Leukemia P388 An experimental lymphocytic leukemia originally induced in DBA/2 mice by painting with methylcholanthrene. P388D(1) Leukemia,P388, Leukemia
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D011108 Polymers Compounds formed by the joining of smaller, usually repeating, units linked by covalent bonds. These compounds often form large macromolecules (e.g., BIOPOLYMERS; PLASTICS). Polymer
D012116 Resins, Plant Flammable, amorphous, vegetable products of secretion or disintegration, usually formed in special cavities of plants. They are generally insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol, carbon tetrachloride, ether, or volatile oils. They are fusible and have a conchoidal fracture. They are the oxidation or polymerization products of the terpenes, and are mixtures of aromatic acids and esters. Most are soft and sticky, but harden after exposure to cold.
