Simplify, simplify, simplify! Pretubulysin (structure without the green substituents), a simplified tubulysin was prepared in the laboratory and also found in a natural myxobacterial source. This biosynthetic precursor of the tubulysins is not as active as tubulysins A and D but is still effective in picomolar concentrations against cancer cell lines.
简化,简化,再简化!前微管溶素(无绿色取代基的结构),一种简化的微管溶素,已在实验室制备出来,并且也在一种天然粘细菌来源中被发现。微管溶素的这种生物合成前体不如微管溶素A和D那样具有活性,但在皮摩尔浓度下对癌细胞系仍有效果。
