ChEBI: A naturally occurring antibiotic and antitumor agent isolated from Actinomadura verrucosopora. Its chemical structure consists of a core bicyclo[7.3.1]tridecadiynene moiety containing a 1,5-diyn-3-ene as part of a ten-membered ring, a
lpha,beta-unsaturated ketone with a bridgehead double bond and an attached allylic trisulfide. This ring system is attached at one end by a trisaccharide moiety and at the opposite end by a 2-deoxy-L-fucose-anthra
ilate moiety. The trisaccharide consists of a hydroxyamino sugar which is connected to a isopropylamino sugar through a glycosidic linkage and a thiomethyl sugar through an NH1O linkage. | [Uses]
Esperamicin A1, as an extremely potent antitumor antibiotic, is isolated from cultures of Actinomadura verrucosospora. Esperamicin A1 can be used for the research of antitumor[1]. Eesperamicin A1 is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups. | [References]
