Four new analogues of the gilvocarcin-type aryl-C-glycoside antitumor compounds, namely 4'-hydroxy gilvocarcin V (4'-OH-GV), 4'-hydroxy gilvocarcin M, 4'-hydroxy gilvocarcin E and 12-demethyl-defucogilvocarcin V were produced through inactivation of the gilU gene. The 4'-OH-analogues showed improved activity against lung cancer cell lines as compared to their parent compounds without 4'-OH group (gilvocarcins V and E). The structures of the sugar-containing new mutant products indicate that the enzyme GilU acts as an unusual ketoreductase involved in the biosynthesis of the C-glycosidically linked deoxysugar moiety of the gilvocarcins. The structures of the new gilvocarcins indicate substrate flexibility of the post-polyketide synthase modifying enzymes, particularly the C-glycosyltransferase and the enzyme responsible for the sugar ring contraction. The results also shed light into biosynthetic sequence of events in the late steps of biosynthetic pathway of gilvocarcin V
