The siderophore myxochelin A is a potent inhibitor of human 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO). To clarify whether the iron-chelating properties of myxochelin A are responsible for this activity, several analogues of this compound were generated in the native producer Pyxidicoccus fallax by precursor-directed biosynthesis. Testing in a cell-free assay unveiled three derivatives with bioactivity comparable with that of myxochelin A. Furthermore, it became evident that inhibition of 5-LO by myxochelins does not correlate with their iron affinities.
铁载体粘菌素A是一种有效的人5-脂氧合酶(5-LO)抑制剂。为了阐明粘菌素A的铁螯合特性是否是这种活性的原因,通过前体导向生物合成在天然生产者Pyxidicoccus fallax中产生了该化合物的几种类似物。无细胞试验表明,有三种衍生物具有与粘菌素A相当的生物活性。此外,很明显,粘菌素对5-LO的抑制作用与其铁亲和力无关。
