Anthracyclinone glycoside antibiotics including the known antibiotics daunomycin and adriamycin, as well as other, novel glycoside antibiotics of the formula (VIII): ##STR1## wherein WHEN R.sub.1 is hydrogen, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are each independently hydrogen, methyl, methoxy, chloro, or bromo; and when R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are hydrogen, R.sub.1 is methyl, chloro, or bromo and R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are each independently hydrogen or hydroxy are prepared by an acid catalyzed addition reaction between (a) an anthracyclinone compound of the formula ##STR2## or a dioxolanyl protected derivative thereof (VI) having the formula: ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are as defined above, and R.sub.6, R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl; or R.sub.7 and R.sub.8, together with the carbon atom to which they are bound may form a saturated or unsaturated ring of 3-8 carbon atoms and (b) a novel reactive, protected 1,2-unsaturated pyranoid sugar, preferably, 1,2,3,6-tetradeoxy-3-trifluoroacetamido-4-trifluoroacetoxy-L-lyxo-hex-1-en opyranose which forms protected derivatives of said glycoside antibiotics and then removing the protecting groups from said glycoside antibiotics. These antibiotics are useful in the treatment of various human cancers and leukemia such as sarcomas, breast cancer, bronchogenic carcinoma, malignant lymphomas, neuroblastomas, acute leukemia and bladder cancer.

L-lyxohex-1-enopyranose derivative

New antitumor agents designated MA 144-M.sub.1 and MA 144-M.sub.2, which are anthracycline glycosides and inhibit the growth of gram-positive bacteria, e.g. Staphyococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Sarcina lutea, and inhibit the growth of animal tumors such as leukemia L 1210, P 388 and sarcoma 180 are produced by fermentation of MA 144-producing strains of streptomyces and by the chemical or enzymatic conversion of aclacinomycin A or cinerubin A.
