28 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Daunorubicin and doxorubicin, two anthracycline polyketides produced by S. peucetius, are potent anticancer agents that are widely used in chemotherapy, despite severe side effects. Recent advances have highlighted the potential of producing improved derivatives with reduced side effects by incorporating l-rhodosamine, the N,N-dimethyl analogue of the native amino sugar moiety. Method: In this...
