Abstract: Recombinant Sorangium cellulosum for producing de-epoxidized epothilone B by fermentation, insertional inactivation of an epoK gene in an epothilone biosynthetic gene cluster in the recombinant bacteria, and a method for producing de-epoxidized epothilone B using the recombinant bacteria.

Abstract: An oral pharmaceutical formulation using 4, 8-dihydroxy-5, 5, 7, 9, 13-pentamethyl-16-[1-methyl-2-(2-methyl-thiazole-4-yl)-ethenyl]]-oxacyclohexadec-13-ene-2,6-dione (utidelone) as an active ingredient, suitable for oral administration. The pharmaceutical formulation is a solid formulation such as tablets and capsules, and the pharmaceutical dosage form has good stability, in vitro dissolution behavior, and bioavailability.

Abstract: A polycrystal form of Utidelone, particularly relating to a semi-hydrated crystal form (A) of Utidelone, a preparation method therefor and a use of crystal Utidelone in preparation of a pharmaceutical composition, especially the use in preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting tumor growth and treating solid tumors of mammals, especially human. The provided crystal form is stable and resistant to high temperature and high humidity, and the preparation method is diversified and simple, and is suitable for industrialized production of new medicines.
