[Biosynthesis of anthracycline: a new interpretation of the results for daunomycin biosynthesis].

Abstract excerpt

On the basis of literature data and our own experiments the "late" biosynthetic pathway to daunomycin has been interpreted from a new point of view considering both the in vivo biosynthesis and formation of shunt products. In contrast to existing hypotheses proposed by other authors we discuss a...
