NEW MATERIAL:An antitumor component SPF10CAP2 [Elementary analysis; C, 40.0-44.5%; H, 5.8-6.5%; N, 12.9-15.4%; O, 31.1-40.0%; Ash, 1.3-2.5%. Decomposition point; Browns at 165 deg.C and decomposes at 240 deg.C. Specific rota tory power [alpha]<20>D=-72--88 deg. (C=1.00) pH; 6.5 in 1.0% aqueous solution. Light brown. Color reaction; Positive to the Lowry reaction, biuret reaction, etc., and negative to the orcinol hydrochloric acid reaction. Molecular weight; 2X10<4>-5X10<5> (measured by the gel filtration method). Soluble in water and slight soluble or isoluble in methanol, etc. Adsorbed on hydroxyapatite and eluted by 1X10<-1>M phosphoric acid buffer solution]. USE:An antitumor agent. PREPARATION:A microorganism, belonging to the genus Streptococcus and capable of producing an antitumor component SPF10CAP2 is cultivated to collect the aimed antitumor component SPF10CAP2 from the resultant culture. The addition of penicillin or related substance thereof to the culture during the cultivation is effective. |
