Marine dinoflagellates of the genus Prorocentrum are famous for the production of okadaic acid (OA) and its analogues. This review covers first the source, chemistry and bioactivity of polyketides from Prorocentrum species. Then recent advances in the studies of biosynthetic origin of OA and its analogues are included. Moreover, the pharmacophore for the selective inhibition of OA to protein phosphatases types 1 (PP1) and 2A (PP2A) is highlighted.
海洋甲藻属中的原甲藻属以产生 okadaic 酸(OA)及其类似物而闻名。这篇综述首先涵盖了原甲藻属物种的聚酮化合物的来源、化学结构和生物活性。然后介绍了 OA 及其类似物生物合成起源研究的最新进展。此外,还强调了 OA 对蛋白磷酸酶 1(PP1)和 2A(PP2A)选择性抑制的药效团。
