In the course of work aimed at the discovery of new pharmaceutical lead compounds from marine bacteria, a lipophilic extract of the bacterium Pseudoalteromonas rubra displayed significant cytotoxicity against SKOV-3, a human ovarian adenocarcinoma cell line. Bioassay-directed fractionation of this extract resulted in the isolation of a series of known and new prodiginine-type azafulvenes. The structure of the major metabolite was elucidated by interpretation of spectroscopic data as a 2-substituted prodigiosin, which we named 2-(p-hydroxybenzyl)prodigiosin (HBPG).
在从海洋细菌中发现新的药物先导化合物的工作过程中,一种红色假交替单胞菌的亲脂提取物对 SKOV-3(人卵巢腺癌细胞系)表现出显著的细胞毒性。对该提取物进行生物活性导向的分段分离,得到了一系列已知和新的变形菌红素型氮杂富烯。主要代谢产物的结构通过光谱数据分析阐明为 2-取代的灵菌红素,我们将其命名为 2-(对羟基苄基)灵菌红素(HBPG)。
