Bioactive substances K93-0711 I-1 and I-2 and process for production thereof

摘要

Bioactive substances K93-0711 I-1 and I-2 having inhibitory action on IL-6 activity, are produced by culturing a microorganism belonging to the genus Streptomyces in a medium, whereby the bioactive substances K93-0711 I-1 and I-2 accumulate in the medium. These bioactive substances K93-0711 I-1 and I-2 are then isolated therefrom. The substances are effective for treatment of IL-6-involving diseases such as cancer cachexia, multiple myeloma and rheumatoid arthritis./!
