摘要:
It is known that foods containing a carbohydrate, e.g., starch, in a large amount produce acrylamide upon heating at high temperatures. Some documents state that acrylamide is formed by the Maillard reaction of an amino acid, e.g., asparagine, with a reducing sugar. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel compound which is effective in inhibiting such foods from yielding acrylamide when treated at a high temperature. Specifically, the present invention provides a compound represented by General Formula (I).

Novel substances WK-5344A and WK-5344B having an effect of inhibiting cholesteryl ester transfer protein; and a process for producing the same which comprises culturing a microorganism belonging to the genus Streptomyces and being capable of producing the substances WK-5344A and WK-5344B in a medium, thus accumulating the substances WK-5344A and WK-5344B in the culture and collecting the substances WK-5344A and WK-5344B therefrom. Because of showing a potent inhibitory activity on cholesteryl ester transfer protein, these substances are useful in preventing and treating human diseases induced by the accumulation of cholesterol.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel substance having inhibitory action on cholesteryl ester transfer protein, WK-5344A substance and WK-5344B substance, and process for production thereof. A microorganism belonging to genus Streptomyces having ability to produce WK-5344A substance and WK-5344B substance is cultured in a medium, and the WK-5344A substance and the WK-5344B substance are accumulated in the medium, then the WK-5344A substance and the WK-5344B substance are isolated from the said medium. Since the present substance shows significant inhibitory action on cholesteryl ester transfer protein, the substance is effective for prevention and treatment of diseases caused by accumulation of cholesterol in human.

The present invention is comprised of culturing a microorganism belonging to genus Streptomyces and having ability to produce K01-0509-A1 substance and/or K01-0509-A2 substance in a medium, accumulating K01-0509-A1 substance and/or K01-0509-A2 substance in the cultured medium and isolating K01-0509-A1 substance and/or K01-0509-A2 substance from the cultured mass. The thus obtained substances can be expected as the selective and effective pharmaceuticals for treatment of infection with enteropathogenic gram negative bacteria having type III secretion system.
摘要:
[Problem] The present invention addresses the problem of providing an anti-trypanosomal drug having a novel skeleton, in order to solve issues that occur with conventional technologies. [Solution] The present invention is based on the discovery of a microbe that produces an anti-trypanosomal drug having a novel skeleton. Specifically, this invention provides: a compound indicated by formula (I) having a trypanosomal inhibitory activity; an analog thereof; a production method therefor; and a Lechevalieria sp. K10-0216 strain that produces said compound.
摘要:
K04-0144 substances A, B and C which can be produced by culturing a microorganism exemplified by Streptomyces sp. strain K04-0144 (which is capable of producing K04-0144 substances) in a culture medium and then collecting the substances from the culture medium. The substances have a potent antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and are therefore useful as therapeutic agents for MRSA infection and infectious diseases caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria including β-lactam antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A novel K04-0144 substance D which is also collected from the culture medium can enhance the effect of a β-lactam antibiotic (which has been used as an antibacterial agent) by using it in combination with the β-lactam antibiotic, and is therefore useful as a therapeutic agent for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection and infectious diseases caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria including β-lactam antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
摘要:
Amicroorganism represented by a strain K04-0144 belonging to Streptomyces sp. having ability to produce K04-0144 substance is cultured in the medium, and the isolated K04-0144A substance, K04-0144B substance and K04-0144C substance therefrom have strong antibacterial activities against Gram-positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant Streptococcus aureus (MRSA), consequently these are useful as the therapeutic agents for infectious disease caused by MRSA as well as infectious diseases caused by multidrug including β-lactam antibiotics resistant bacteria. Further, similarly, since the novel K04-0144D substance isolated from the cultured liquid has the action for enhancing the effect of β-lactam antibiotics, which are utilized as the antibacterial agents, in combination with them, it is useful as the therapeutic agent for infectious diseases caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and multidrug including β-lactam antibiotics resistant bacteria.
摘要:
The present invention relates to effective drugs for mycosis caused by so called fungi such as fungi and yeast. The present invention is comprised of culturing a microorganism belonging to genus Streptomyces and having ability to produce K99-5278A substance, K99-5278B substance and K99-5278C substance in a medium, accumulating K99-5278A substance, K99-5278B substance and K99-5278C substance in the cultured medium and isolating K99-5278A substance, K99-5278B substance and K99-5278C substance from the cultured mass. The thus obtained substances can be expected as a novel antifungal agent.
