Abstract:
Arteminolides obtained from Artemisia sylvatica MAXIMOWICZ and having a core structure of formula (I) or an isomeric structure thereof are effective farnesyl-protein transferase inhibitors as well as angiogenesis suppressors, and, accordingly, they are useful for the treatment of various cancers and angiogenesis-related diseases. ##STR1##
Abstract:
8-Acetylarteminolide of the formula (I) having inhibitory activities against farnesyl-protein transferase(FPTase), a progression of the cell cycle and angiogenesis may be useful for the prevention and treatment of various cancers and angiogenesis-related diseases:
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the screening method of antagonistic material of integrin using the protein chip and useful peptides screened thereby. The protein chip used in the present invention is unique substrate coated with new material, calixarene derivative, which can keep uniform and high activities of proteins. Integrin receptor protein is arrayed high densely on the chip, and materials (protein, peptide, small molecules and so on) specifically inhibiting the binding of ligand can be screened therewith. The integrins used in the present invention are integrin av f3 3 and integrin a1, b j3 3, and new antagonistic peptides screened from peptide library have high binding affinity.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to process of purifying the angiogensis inhibitor proteins expressed in E. coli and to the use of recombinant kringle 1-3 (; greenstatin) purified by the above process as a angiogenesis inhibitor and an anticancer agent. Particularly, according to the process of purifying the protein, the angiogenesis inhibitor proteins overexpressed are solubilized, refolded, and purified as a pure and active form. The greenstatin purified by the process specifically suppresses endothelial cell proliferation, anaiogenesis, and the growth of lung cancer, skin cancer, and brain tumor. Therefore, the process of this invention is applicable to the mass-production of angiogenesis inhibitor proteins such as greenstatin which is useful for the treatment of glaucoma, retinopathy, and cancers.
