APHE-1 and APHE-2, two new antimicrobial and cytotoxic antibiotics. II. Physico-chemical properties and structure elucidation.

Abstract

Two new pyrazolo-isoquinolinone antibiotics, APHE-1 and APHE-2, have been isolated from the culture filtrate and mycelia of Streptoverticillium griseocarneum NCIMB 40447. Molecular formulae were established as C13H12N2O for APHE-1 and C14H14N2O for APHE-2, by elemental analysis, NMR and mass spectra. 2D NMR techniques (1H-1H COSY-45 and 1H-13C correlated spectroscopy) have been applied to establish their structures.
