In the search for novel bioactive compounds from sponge-derived microorganisms, we have recently identified two structurally and biosynthetically unprecedented fungal metabolites, the novel-type alkaloids sorbicillactone A and sorbicillactone B. Sorbicillactone A is active against leukemia cells without showing notable cytotoxicity. Therefore, we have developed an efficient process for its biotechnological production and isolation on a large scale supplying sufficient material for the ongoing preclinical investigations and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
在从海绵源微生物中寻找新型生物活性化合物的过程中,我们最近鉴定出两种结构和生物合成上都前所未有的真菌代谢产物,新型生物碱 sorbicillactone A 和 sorbicillactone B。Sorbicillactone A 对白血病细胞具有活性,而没有明显的细胞毒性。因此,我们开发了一种有效的生物技术生产方法,并进行了大规模的分离,为正在进行的临床前研究和结构-活性关系(SAR)研究提供了足够的材料。
