Article abstract of DOI:10.7164/antibiotics.55.181

The synthesis and structural determination of a number of new rhodomycin derivatives, modified in the sugar part are described. The cytotoxicity against leukemic L1210 cells of these compounds is reported, along with β-rhodomycinone and two regioisomers of the above compounds, which were isolated during the synthetic procedure.
