Abstract: The structures of four new anthracyclines (rudolphomycin (1 1), collinemycin (12), mimimycin (13), alcindoromycin (14)) have been determined by a combination of chemical degradations and spectral interpretation. The use of 13CN M R spectroscopy has been extensive and assignments to the 13C N M R spectra of these compounds have been made.

The marked clinical effectiveness of the antitumor antibiotics adriamycin and daunomycin (1 and 2) (Figure 1) has led to an intensive search for new members of this interesting class of compounds.* This search has resulted in the isolation and characterization of a number of new agents: carminomycin3 (3), cinerubins A and B,4 aclacinomycins A and B,5 the rhodirubins,6 b a ~ m y c i n snogalamycin,* ,~ and marcellomycin and musettamycing from our own laboratories. Recent work from these laboratories has shown that some of the t-pyrromycinone-based anthracyclines as well as aclacinomycin A (10) (based on 1-deoxypyrromycinone) possess a mode of action which distinguishes them from the adriamycin class of anthracyclines.I0 In the preceding paper’’ of this series we have described the isolation of several new members of this unique class of agents. It is the purpose of this paper to give the structure determination of these compounds as well as to provide further details of the structure elucidations of musettamycin and m a r c e l l ~ m y c i nThe . ~ structures are illustrated i n Table I. Structures of Musettamycin (7) and Marcellomycin (8) The structural assignments to musettamycin and marcellomycin which were made earlier were based on a number of lines of evidence as outlined below. Both compounds were reddish-orange solids having elemental formulas C36H45N014 and C42H55N017, respectively. Total acid hydrolysis of either 7 or 8 led to the isolation of 6-pyrromycinone (4) in addition to trace amounts of 17-pyrromycinone (21) (Scheme I) which possessed identical properties with those reported by Brockmann and Lenk for compounds 4 and 21.12 Mild alcoholysis of 7 or 8 gave t-pyrromycin ( 6 ) ,the N M R spectrum of which was identical with that reported for the partial hydrolysis product of cinerubin A (9).4 Thus the aglycone as well as the first sugar for both these products was established. From the nonanthracycline portion of the methanolysis experiments the methyl glycoside of 2-deoxy-~-fucose(22) as a mixture of a and p anomers was obtained with the a anomer predominating. The [ H N M R spectrum of musettamycin exhibited three signals in the anomeric region at 6 5.50,5.24, and 5.00 as broad singlets which have been assigned to the C-1’, C-7, and C-1” protons, respectively, by comparing the line positions for a series of related compounds (Table 11). The small coupling constants indicated that the protons in question were equatorial rather than axial. Thus the structure of musettamycin was Scheme I

assigned as shown below for 7 (Figure 2). The methanolysis of marcellomycin (8) gave only 22 in addition to pyrromycin. An examination of the proton spectrum of 8 indicated the presence of an additional anomeric proton ( a anomer) as well as other signals attributable to a third sugar in the molecule. Examination of the I3C N M R spectrum of 8 in comparison with that of 7 confirmed the existence of a third sugar and indicated that it was probably a second 2-deoxyfucosyl residue. At this juncture there was some question as to the point of attachment of the 2-deoxy-~-fucoseresidues. The ‘H N M R spectra of both 7 and 8 exhibited three exchangeable signals downfield for the phenolic protons a t C - I , C-4, and C-6, thus ruling out attachment to these centers. It did not appear likely that the sugar residues could be attached to the tertiary C-9 hydroxyl, thus leaving only the C-4’ carbon as the point of attachment. A comparison of the I3C N M R spectra of pyrromycin, musettamycin, and marcellomycin confirmed that these residues were linked through the C-4’ carbon (Figure 3). Note the shift of the C-4’ carbon on formation of the glycosidic linkage to the 2-deoxy-~-fucosein musettamycin (7). Similarly, a large shift for the C-4” carbon was noted on going to marcellomycin from musettamycin. Details of the assignments are given in a later section on the I3C N M R spectra of a number of these compounds. The conformation shown for the D ring of the aglycone portion is based on the narrow coupling for the proton a t C-7 as well as an examination of molecular models which indicates this to be the conformation in which the peri interactions between the sugar residue at C-7 and the C-6 hydroxyl and the C- I O carbomethoxy and C-1 1 proton are minimized. Structure of Rudolphomycin (11) The third anthracycline present in major amounts in the bohemic acid complex is rudolphomycin (11). It was isolated as an orange-red solid which analyzed for C42H52N2O16a 3/2H20.13High-resolution field desorption mass spectrometry confirmed this elemental formula exhibiting ions at m/e 841 ( M I ) , 586, and 428 corresponding to the molecular ion and cleavages at the C- 1’’ and C-I’ anomeric carbons, respectively. The ultraviolet and visible spectra of rudolphomycin were superimposable on that of marcellomycin with the exception of a new absorption band a t 280 nm which did not shift on addition of either dilute base or dilute acid (Figure 4). The IR spectrum of 11 showed carbonyl bands at 1735 and 1600 cm-I and was similar in this respect to both 7 and 8 with the exception that the 1600-cm-’ band was relatively more intense than in either 7 or 8. As in the case of marcellomycin extensive hydrolysis of rudolphomycin gave t-pyrromycinone while partial methanolysis yielded pyrromycin, thus establishing the structure of the ag-

lycone and the first sugar in rudolphomycin. This also proved that the 280-nm U V chromophore as well as the 1600-cm-’ IR band was located in the remaining sugar residues. The ’H N M R spectrum of rudolphomycin exhibited signals in the anomeric region of the spectrum which integrated for five protons. Three of the resonances appeared at 6 5.53,5.28, and 5.10 as broad singlets and could be assigned to the C-l’, C-7, and C-I” protons (Table 11). These resonances were almost superimposable on those of musettamycin and marcellomycin. In addition, two sharp singlets integrating for one proton each were observed a t 6 5.26 and 5.32. The methyl region of the spectrum integrated for 12 protons, indicating that rudolphomycin contained 4 methyl groups. One of the methyl resonances was shifted downfield from the rest to 6 1.38 and appeared as a doublet. When the N M R spectrum of 11 was run

in deuterated pyridine the protons on the oxygenated carbons were shifted apart, permitting a first-order analysis of the signals. In addition to those signals assignable to the aglycone and rhodosamine there were two methyl groups present, one of which was coupled to a proton appearing at 6 5.52 which was not coupled to any other protons. Furthermore, this methyl group appeared farthest downfield of the methyl signals. This suggested the following fragment in which the low-field position of the methyl group was accommodated.

An examination of the downfield portion of the spectrum showed signals a t 95.1, 157.8, and 194.1 ppm. The signal a t 194.1 ppm could only be for the carbonyl carbon of a n a$-unsaturated ketone which would account for the three missing carbons of the hexose. This joined with the earlier derived fragment gave the partial structure shown in 23.

A sample of 11 was dissolved in methanol-methylene chloride and methanolic hydrogen chloride added (Scheme 11).
