Abstract

A novel anti-inflammatory compound, Sch 36605, belonging to the blasticidin family of nucleoside compounds was isolated from the fermentation filtrate of a Streptomyces sp. Sch 36605, as well as blasticidin S, demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity in the reverse passive Arthus reaction and the Adjuvant arthritic rat at doses ranging between 1-10 mg/kg and 0.3-6.0 mg/kg, respectively. A minor component, Sch 366606, co-produced in the in the fermentation was isolated and identified as a known compound in the blasticidin family of compounds.
