NEW MATERIAL:Antibiotic substance AM-3696A. The characteristics of the hydrochloride of the substance are as follows: appearance, white powder; elemental analysis, C 43.5%, H 4.46%, N 4.97%; melting point, 230-280 deg.C; specific rotatory power, [alpha]D<28>=-122--126 deg. (c 0.5, water); solubility, soluble in water, slightly soluble in DMSO, insoluble in lower alcohols, acetone, etc.; color reactions, positive to anisaldehyde/sulfuric acid reaction, etc., negative to anisidine reaction, Sakaguchi's reaction, etc. USE:Antibacterial agent effective to gram-positive bacteria, penicillin-resistant bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, etc. PROCESS:The antibiotic substance AM-3696A can be prepared, e.g. by culturing Pseudonocardia sp AM-3696 strain (FERM-P NO.4738) aerobically in a liquid medium, adsorbing the substance from the filtrate wih activated charcoal, etc., and eluting and purifying the objective substance. |
