NEW MATERIAL:An antitumor component: SPF 10-10 [elementary analyses: C 39.5-43.5%, H 5.8-6.7%, N 7.3-10.4%, O 46.9-37.5%, Ash 0.5-1.9%; decomposition point: browning at 165 deg.C, darkening at 240 deg.C to decompose; specific rotatory power [alpha]<20>D=+5 deg.-+30 deg. (C=1.00), pH in 1% aqueous solution 5.5-6.0: colored in pale brown; color reaction: positive to the Lowry reaction, negative to the orcinol-hydrochloric acid reaction; molecular weight: more than 10,000 (the gel filtration method); solubility: soluble in water and sparingly soluble or insoluble in methanol, etc.] USE:An antitumor agent. PREPARATION:A microorganism in Streptococcus, capable of producing an antitumor agent SPF 10-10 is cultured in a medium and penicillin or its relating substance is added to the medium in an appropriate period and the cultivation is continued. The cell bodies are centrifuged off, the filtrate is concentrated, and purified to give an antitumor agent, SPF 10-10.
