A culture product of Streptomyces pseudovenezuelae MF722-02, with a molecular formula of C29H32N2O7, was isolated as yellow needles from culture broths and mycelia of the organism by means of a series of solvent extraction, column chromatography and crystallization. The antibiotic is active against some Gram-positive bacteria, inhibits growth in vitro of cells of mouse leukemia L-1210, prolongs the life span of mice inoculated with the leukemia cells, enhances deoxycholate-induced hemolysis in vitro and inhibits (Na+, K+)-ATPase in vitro.
