A new chitinase inhibitor, designated as argadin (1), was isolated from the cultured broth of a fungal strain FO-7314. The strain was identified as Clonostachys sp. from the morphological characteristics. Argadin was purified from the cultured mycelium by a combination of cation exchange, adsorption and gel filtration chromatographic methods. The structure of argadin was elucidated as cyclo(Nomega-acetyl-L-arginyl-D-prolyl-homoseryl-histidyl-L- 2-aminoadipyl) in which homoseryl gamma-methylene bonded to histidyl alpha-amino residue. The IC50 value of argadin against Lucilia cuprina (blowfly) chitinase was 150 nM at 37 degrees C and 3.4 nM at 20 degrees C. Argadin arrested the moult of cockroach larvae upon injection into the ventral abdominal part.
一种新的几丁质酶抑制剂,命名为精胍菌素(1),是从真菌菌株FO-7314的培养液中分离得到的。根据形态学特征,该菌株被鉴定为枝顶孢属。通过阳离子交换、吸附和凝胶过滤色谱法相结合的方法,从培养的菌丝体中纯化出精胍菌素。精胍菌素的结构被确定为环(Nω-乙酰-L-精氨酰-D-脯氨酰-高丝氨酰-组氨酰-L-2-氨基己二酰),其中高丝氨酰γ-亚甲基与组氨酰α-氨基残基相连。精胍菌素在37℃时对铜绿丽蝇(绿头苍蝇)几丁质酶的IC50值为150 nM,在20℃时为3.4 nM。将精胍菌素注射到蟑螂幼虫腹部腹面后,它会阻止幼虫蜕皮。
