The present invention relates to epothilones C, D, E, and F, their preparation and their use for the production of therapeutic compositions and compositions for plant protection.

Epothilones C, D, E, and F, preparation and compositions

The invention concerns compounds which can be obtained by fermenting DSM 6773, especially epothilones A1, A2, A8, A9, B10, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, D1, D2, D5, G1, G2, H1, H2, I1, I2, I3, I4, I5, I6 and K and trans-epothilones C1 and C2.

Epothilone side components

The invention relates to compounds which are obtained by fermenting DSM 6773, especially epothilones A1, A2, A8, A9, B10, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, D1, D2, D5, G1, G2, H1, H2, I1, I2, I3, I4, I5, I6 and K and trans-epothilones C1 and C2.

Epothilone minor constituents

The invention relates to compounds of the following general formula I ##STR1## especially the compound of formula Ia referred to as thiangazole ##STR2## their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, processes for their preparation and therapeutic compositions and compositions that can be used in crop-protection.

Thiangazole, its preparation, compositions and use thereof

The invention relates to cyclic antibiotics of formula ##STR1## wherein the prefix R represents that the substituents on the adjacent carbon atom are in the R configuration; the prefix S represents that the substituents on the adjacent carbon atom are in the S configuration;

Macrocyclic antibodies

Compounds of the formula I ##STR1## in which either R is methyl and there is a double bond in the 9,10-position, or in which R is hydrogen and there is a single bond in the 9,10-position, are highly active against Acarina which damage plants.

Macrocyclic plant acaricides

The invention relates to novel polycyclic alkaloids of formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents hydrogen or hydroxy, R.sup.2 represents hydrogen or acyl and A and B, independently of one another, each represents C.dbd.O or C--OH, and wherein the dashed line represents a C.dbd.C double bond at the position of the middle bond when A or B represents C.dbd.O, or at the position of the two outer bonds when A or B represents C--OH, a process for the manufacture of these compounds by fermentation of a novel microorganism of the species Myxococcus xanthus, the novel microorganism itself, pharmacetical preparations that contain the novel compounds, and the use of the novel compounds as antibiotics and as tumour-inhibiting agents and for the manufacture of pharmaceutical preparations.

Antibiotics from myxococcus

The invention relates to cyclic antibiotics of formula ##STR1## wherein the prefix R represents that the substituents on the adjacent carbon atom are in the R configuration; the prefix S represents that the substituents on the adjacent carbon atom are in the S configuration; R.sub.1 is hydrogen or hydroxy and R.sub.2 is hydroxy or .beta.-glucopyranosyloxy, and to the hydrates and salts thereof, especially pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The compounds of formula I are prepared by fermentation using the strain So ce 12 (NCIB 12134) of the species Sorangium celulosum and are effective antiobiotics.
