Actinotetraose is a unique tetrasaccharide with six tiglate esters isolated from an unidentified Amycolatopsis culture. The sugar possesses a two-fold axis of symmetry and is a co-metabolite of quinaldopeptin, a potent antitumor agent.
Actinotetraose hexatiglate is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF or DMSO. Limited water solubility.
