A new xanthone compound named retymicin (1) was isolated together with galtamycin B (2) and saquayamycin Z (3), new members of the galtamycin and saquayamycin families, respectively, and the new lumichrome derivative 1-(alpha-ribofuranosyl)-lumichrome (4) from Micromonospora strain Tü 6368, isolated from a soil sample collected in Romania. Retymicin, galtamycin B and saquayamycin Z show cytostatic effects to various human tumor cell lines whereas saquayamycin Z is also active against Gram-positive bacteria.

Four angucycline glycosides including three new compounds landomycin N (), galtamycin C () and vineomycin D (), and a known homologue saquayamycin B (), along with two alkaloids 1-acetyl-β-carboline () and indole-3-acetic acid (), were isolated from the fermentation broth of an intertidal sediments-derived sp. Their structures were established by IR, HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR techniques. Among the isolated angucyclines, saquayamycin B () displayed potent cytotoxic activity against hepatoma carcinoma cells HepG-2, SMMC-7721 and plc-prf-5, with IC values 0.

A detailed screening of the secondary metabolite pattern from Micromonospora sp. strain Tü 6368 resulted in the isolation of ten compounds belonging to five different structural families. The structures of the novel compounds 1-(alpha-ribofuranosyl)-lumichrome (3), retymicin (7), galtamycin B (11) and saquayamycin Z (14) were assigned by spectroscopic methods and chemical transformations.
