Trioxacarcins, derived from streptomyces, are aromatic polyketide natural products with antitumor activity. The production of trioxacarcins was improved significantly by optimizing the fermentation and purification processes. The biosynthetic pathway of trioxacarcins was changed by inactivating an acyltransferase (Trx49) gene in the trioxacarcin cluster, and an analogue compound 1 lacking the O-acetyl group of sugar on C-4 was obtained. The influence of the O-acetyl group on biological activity of trioxacarcins was investigated by in vitro cytotoxicity test. Compared with trioxacarcin A, the activity of compound 1 decreases to some extent but still persists an excellent anti-tumor activity level with IC50 value of 4.86 nmol·L-1.

Key words: trioxacarcin, biosynthesis, natural product, acyltransferase
