摘要:
By using an antisense nucleotide, a ribozyme, a maxizyme, or an RNAi constructed based on the nucleotide sequence of exon 1 beta of the PDGF receptor alpha gene, which is expressed in specific cancer cells, or a polypeptide containing a portion thereof, translation of an mRNA transcribed from exon 1 beta of the PDGF receptor alpha gene is suppressed. An agent for suppressing expression containing as an active ingredient a substance for inhibiting expression, such as an antisense nucleotide, a ribozyme, a maxizyme, or an RNAi, is effective as a therapeutic agent for cancer.
摘要:
An anthracycline, serirubicin, of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R represents the substituent: ##STR2## is produced by a process which comprises cultivating a strain of Streptomyces in a suitable culture medium under aerobic conditions, said strain having the ability to produce the anthracycline compound, serirubicin, and then recovering the anthracycline compound, serirubicin, from the cultured medium. This serirubicin, or an acid addition salt of the serirubicin, can be contained as the active ingredient in anti-tumor agents and in pharmaceutical compositions for treatment of infections induced by gram-positive microorganisms, whereby good results are attainable.
摘要:
[Object] To provide a method for synthesizing derivatives of natural compounds; a method for constructing a compound library containing derivatives of natural compounds; a compound library containing derivatives of natural compounds; and a screening method using a compound library, which are useful for a HTS random screening, a search for drugs or agricultural chemicals, or a search for a lead compound of a drug or an agricultural chemical.[Solving Means] A derivative of an organic compound can be synthesized by culturing a microorganism producing the organic compound in a predetermined culture broth, and reacting the organic compound obtained by the culturing with a reaction reagent for synthesizing the derivative of the organic compound in the culturing broth. By constructing a library containing the thus obtained organic compound derivative, a HTS (high-throughput) random screening, a search for a drug or agricultural chemical, or a search for a lead compound of a drug or agricultural chemical can be performed.

An anthracycline compound, ditrisarubicin, of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R represents one of the following substituents (A), (B), and (C): ##STR2## is produced by a process which comprises cultivating a strain of Streptomyces in a suitable culture medium under aerobic conditions, said strain having the ability to produce the anthracycline compound, ditrisarubicin, and then recovering the anthracycline compound, ditrisarubicin, from the cultured medium. This ditrisarubicin, or an acid addition salt of the ditrisarubicin, can be contained as the active ingredient in antitumor agents and in pharmaceutical compositions for treatment of infections induced by gram-positive microorganisms, whereby good results are attainable.

A peptide consisting of part of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No: 8 and having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No: 1 or SEQ ID No: 2, e.g., a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID Nos: 1 to 5, has an excellent apoptosis-suppressive activity. Therefore, a peptide consisting of part of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No: 8 and having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No: 2, particularly SEQ ID No: 1, is useful as a pharmaceutical composition for a Bax-dependent apoptosis-induced disease, such as a neurodegenerative disease.
