FR901537 is a new aromatase inhibitor produced by a bacterium Bacillus sp. No. 3072. Structural studies of FR901537 suggested that it was a novel naphthol derivative having pantetheine in its structure. FR901537 showed a potent inhibitory activity against aromatase from human placenta or rat ovary, but did not inhibit the activity of 11 beta-hydroxylase from bovine adrenal cortex. Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis revealed that FR901537 is a competitive inhibitor.
FR901537是由芽孢杆菌属3072号菌株产生的一种新型芳香化酶抑制剂。对FR901537的结构研究表明,它是一种结构中含有泛酰巯基乙胺的新型萘酚衍生物。FR901537对人胎盘或大鼠卵巢的芳香化酶显示出强效抑制活性,但不抑制牛肾上腺皮质11β-羟化酶的活性。Lineweaver-Burk作图分析表明FR901537是一种竞争性抑制剂。
