摘要:
Benastatins A and B which are novel and physiologically active substances having the formula ##STR1## wherein R represents --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 -- or --CH.dbd.CH--, exhibit a potent immunomodifier activity, a glutathione transferase inhibition activity and an anti-microorganism activity and are therefore extremely useful for various drugs.
摘要:
A novel, biologically active substance, poststatin, has been isolated from a culture medium of microorganism belonging to Streptomyces. The novel substance is a peptide compound having a novel structure, wherein the peptide chains have ketone radicals. Thus substance has a high endopeptidase inhibition activity. It is possible to chemically synthesize poststatin related compound having ketone radicals in the peptide chains. These compounds also have an endopeptidase inhibition activity.
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:
This invention provides a physiologically active substance having a strong dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitory activity. The physiologically active substance sulphostin is obtained by culturing a microorganism belonging to the genus Streptomyces and having an ability to produce the physiologically active substance sulphostin, producing and accumulating this substance in the cultures, and harvesting it from the cultures.
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:
As a new antibiotic is provided a compound, now nominated as MI43-37F11 substance, which has formula ##STR1## This MI43-37F11 substance has an antitumor activity, an activity to enhance the production of interleukin-1 in vivo in a mammalian, and an activity to activate a macrophage in vivo in a mammalian. MI43-37F11 substance may be produced by cultivation of Streptoverticillium eurocidicum MI43-37F11 strain identified as FERM BP-2783.
摘要:
There are disclosed two new antibiotics formerly denominated MC916-A and MC916-B and now called neothramycin A and neothramycin B which are potent inhibitors of the growth of leukemia cells, e.g. Leukema L-1210 cells in mice. They are produced by controlled fermentation of Streptomyces FERM-P 2452 (A.T.C.C. 31123).
摘要:
In this invention, a new microbial strain which is a strain of Actinomycetes and belongs to the genus Actinomadura, namely Actinomadura sp. MI215-NF3 strain is cultured, and MI215-NF3 substance, a novel antibiotic classifiable as a polyether antibiotic, is recovered from the resultant culture. MI215-NF3 substance and its salts obtained according to this invention are useful for therapeutic treatment of chicken coccidiosis and also have useful antibacterial activities against certain species of bacteria.
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.
