Natural compound exhibiting antitumor activity and harboring pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) structure Mazethramycin B

Date:October 24 2025Web Page No:520103

Mazethramycin B (mazethramycin 11-methyl ether) harboring antitumor and antibacterial activities was isolated from culture filtrate of Streptomyces thioluteus in Institute of Microbial Chemistry (BIKAKEN) in 1980.1) Mazethramycin species were reported that there were two compounds as mazethramycin A and B. The institute developed mazethramycin B having more stable structure than mazethramycin A, as a research reagent.

Structure of Mazethramycin B (#18418)


Structure fo Pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD)

Mazethramycin species are natural compounds which have a charaseristic pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) structure harboring a tricyclic structure composed of seven-membered ring. Many of these natural compounds harboring the PBD were discovered in Streptomyces. Some compounds harboring PBD structure exhibited antitumor activity by sequence-selective DNA alkylation.2) In addition, development of antibody-drug conjugation (ADC) has been progressing to use PBD structure as cytotoxic poison (payload).3)
