ANTIVIRAL ANTIBIOTIC SUBSTANCE AM-2722, PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF, AND THE MICROORGANISM USED THEREFOR

摘要

A novel antiviral antibiotic AM-2722 is described represented by the molecular formula C19H26NO3Cl, and having the following physicochemical properties: (1) specific rotary power: [ alpha ]D20-0.5 (C-1, chloroform); (2) the UV spectrum shown in FIG. 1; and (3) the IR spectrum shown in FIG. 2. Also described is a process for producing the antiviral antibiotic AM-2722, wherein a microorganism of Streptomyces which has the ability to produce the antibiotic AM-2722 is cultured aerobically in a nutrient medium and the antibiotic AM-2722 accumulated in the medium and the microorganism cells is recovered.
