SF-1961, a new antibiotic related to bleomycin.

Abstract
A new type of bleomycin group antibiotic, SF-1961 was isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. SF-1961 possessed .beta.-amino-.beta.-(4-amino-6-carboxypyrimidin-2-yl)-propionic acid instead of its 5-methyl derivative, which was a common component of bleomycins and phleomycins.
