摘要:
The present invention is based upon the discovery that a MeOH extract of Anabaena affinis strain VS-1 showed strong cytotoxicity to L1210 murine leukemia cells, and from that extract was isolated the compounds having the following structures, Compounds 1 and 2. These two compounds are believed to be responsible for the cytotoxicity of the marine organism. This is the first report of the isolation and characterization of pyrrolo�3,2-d!pyrimidine derivatives as biosynthetic products. ##STR1##

摘要:
Investigation of the activity of extracts of the clam Spisula polynyma has led to antitumour long-chain, straight-chain alkane or alkene compounds which have a 2-amino group and a 3-hydroxy group.

Ecteinascidins (Et's), isolated from the Caribbean tunicate Ecteinascidia turbinata, protect mice in vivo against P388 lymphoma, B16 melanoma, M5076 ovarian sarcoma, Lewis lung carcinoma, and the LX-1 human lung and MX-1 human mammary carcinoma zenografts.
摘要:
This invention is directed to didemnin derivatives, including N-acyl congeners of didemnin A (DA); several DDB-type analogues of DA in which either pyruvic acid has been replaced (with phenylpyruvic acid or alphaketobutyric acid) or proline at position 8 has been replaced [with L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (AZT), L-pipecolic acid (Pip), 1-amino-1-carboxylic cyclopentane (acc.sup.5), D-Pro or sarcosine (sar); and other cyclic depsipeptides related to the didemnins, which were isolated from a relatively polar extract of the tunicate T. solidum; namely the didemnins--X [(R)-3-hydroxy-decanoyl-(Gln).sub.3 -Lac-Pro didemnin A]; Y [(R)-3-hydroxy-decanoyl-(Gln).sub.4 -Lac-Pro didemnin A]; M (pGlu-Gln-Lac-Pro-didemnin A); N ([Tyr.sup.5 ] didemnin B); nordidemnin N ([Tyr.sup.5 ] nordidemnin B); and epididemnin A ([2S,4R-Hip.sup.2 ] didemnin A).
摘要:
Novel antibiotics didemnins A, B and C (didemnins), and nordidemnins A, B and C (nordidemnins) which can be obtained from a marine organism. These antibiotics are active against a variety of DNA and RNA viruses; thus, they can be used in various environments to control or eradicate these viruses. Further, these antibiotics can be used to treat animals and humans hosting a neoplastic disease.
摘要:
Dehydrodidemnin B with useful biological activity has formula (1). It can be isolated from natural sources or synthesized, and it forms active derivatives.
摘要:
A bear derived isolate found in denning black bears or black bears from which food has been withheld for at least two weeks when injected into another mammal produces reduced heart rate, reduced respiratory rate, reduced temperature, and a wakeful tranquility not unlike the phenomena of the denning black bear. The isolate is taken from either the serum or urine of such denning bear. The method of the invention involves the steps of fractionating the serum or urine of a denning black bear to produce fractions of varying potency.
