Norman J. Oppenheimer,* Luis O. Rodriguez, 1 and Sidney M. Hecht § abstract:* H NMR spectral studies at 360 MHz have been conducted on bleomycin, a modified bleomycin, and the zinc-bleomycin complex. In these studies, the revised structure of bleomycin has been independently verified by (1) the pD dependence of chemical shifts,(2) observation of the ex-changeable resonances with (CD3) 2SO as solvent, and (3) acylation of the «-amine of the/3-aminoalanine moiety. The NMR spectra of the zinc-bleomycin complex (D20 as solvent) have been obtained and analyzed. Chemical shift changes larger than 0.1 ppm are observed upon metal binding for the following groups:(1) 0-aminoalanine,(2) propionamide,(3) pyrimidinyl methyl,(4)/3-hydroxyhistidine,(5) mannose 3', and (6) methylvalerate. Coordination to zinc also causes large changes in vicinal coupling constants for theBleomycin is a glycopeptide antibioticfirst isolated from Streptomyces verticillus by Umezawa et al.(1966). It shows remarkable selectivity toward squamous cell carcinoma, various lymphomas, and testicular carcinoma. Of particular im-portance is the general absence of immunosuppression (Boggs et al., 1974), thus accountingfor itsincreased use in com-bination chemotherapy. The structure of bleomycin was first proposed by Takita et al.(1972), and a revised structure suggested by Takita et al.(1978a) is shown in Figure 1. The drug has a high affinity for divalent transition-metal ions and is isolated as the 1: 1 cupric complex (Umezawa et al., 1966; Umezawa, 1974). It is the ferrous-bleomycin complex, however, that has been implicated as the possible active species in bleomycin-directed DNA strand scission (Sausville et al., 1976; Lown & Sim, 1977).
