Common NameBaumycins
DescriptionBaumycins is a glycosylated anthracycline, a chemical class known for its significance in cancer therapy. Chemically, baumycins are characterized by an unusual acetal moiety attached to the daunosamine component, which is hydrolyzed during the acidic extraction process of daunorubicin from fermentation broth (PMID:23885759 ). These metabolites are coproduced alongside the clinically important anticancer agents daunorubicin and doxorubicin, both derived from the bacterium Streptomyces peucetius (PMID:23885759 ). Baumycins may play a role in the metabolism of daunorubicin (DNR) and doxorubicin (DXR) to acid-sensitive compounds, a pathway that is potentially linked to the presence of baumycins in various DNR-producing bacteria (PMID:9573189 ). Additionally, the DnrH protein, which exhibits similarities to known glycosyl transferases, is thought to facilitate the conversion of DNR into its polyglycosylated forms, further implicating baumycins in the biosynthetic pathways of these important therapeutic agents (PMID:8955419 ).
