摘要:
New physiologically active substances, named probestin and prostatin, respectively, are produced from a new microorganism, Streptomyces azureus MH663-2F6 strain identified as FERM P-9541 or FERM BP-1963. Probestin and prostatin have an activity inhibitory to aminopeptidase M and also have immunopotentiating properties.
摘要:
Plipastatin represented by the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is --C.sub.13 H.sub.27 or --C.sub.14 H.sub.29 ; and R.sub.2 is Ala or Val, or salts thereof, which is prepared by culturing a Plipastatin-producing strain belonging to the genus Bacillus to produce and accumulate Plipastatin in a cultured broth and then isolating Plipastatin from the cultured broth. Plipastatin exhibits an enzyme inhibiting activity against phospholipase A.sub.2, C and D and which will be useful as an immunosuppressive agent or as a type I anti-allergic agent.
摘要:
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.

New anthracycline compounds, 2-hydroxyaclacinomycin A having potent antitumor activity and lower toxicity, 2-hydroxyaklavinone as an useful precursor for producing anthracycline glycosides, and a process for the production thereof by microbial conversion method are disclosed.
摘要:
The invention is to provide a new process for producing daunomycin and baumycins having potent antitumor activity and low toxicity by microbial conversion of anthracyclinones such as aklavinone and .epsilon.-rhodomycinone.
摘要:
New anthracycline derivatives, 1-hydroxy-13-dihydrodaunomycin and N-formyl-1-hydroxy-13-dihydrodaunomycin are produced by microbial transformation of .epsilon.-pyrromycinone and .epsilon.-isorhodomycinone with daunomycin-producing streptomyces and their mutants. The derivatives herein are useful as cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
摘要:
A medicament for prophylaxis or treatment of bone marrow suppression, for treatment of infectious diseases and for increasing the number of leukocytes, which comprise as an active ingredient a sulphostin-related compound represented by general formula (I): wherein n is an integer of 0 to 3, or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof.
摘要:
Provided are novel processes for the efficient production of L-epi-2-inosose and epi-inositol which are useful either as various medicines or intermediates for the syntheses of various medicines. In the processes, there is used inexpensive myo-inositol as a starting compound. That is, there is now developed a new process which comprises reacting myo-inositol with a gram-negative bacterium capable of converting myo-inositol into L-epi-2-inosose, and thereby producing L-epi-2-inosose by conversion of myo-inositol into L-epi-2-inosose. Further, a novel process is provided, which comprises reacting the so produced L-epi-2-inosose with a reducing agent made of an alkali metal boron hydride or any other alkali metal hydride in an aqueous reaction medium, to produce epi-inositol and myo-inositol, and then isolating epi-inositol from the resulting reaction product composed of the epi-inositol and myo-inositol.
摘要:
Provided is a process for producing an isocoumarin-3-yl-acetic acid derivative, characterized by reacting a homophthalic acid derivative represented by a formula: (wherein Rc, R2 and R are mainly protecting groups) with a malonic acid derivating represented by a formula: (wherein R is an organic group including a lower alkyl group; R3 is a protecting group for a carboxyl group; and X is a halogen atom or a —OM group (wherein M is alkaline metal or alkaline earth metal)). According to the above process, various isocoumarin-3-yl-acetic acid derivatives can efficiently be provided.
