Ustiloxin D, produced by the rice plant pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens, exhibits potent anti-tubulin activity. In order to elucidate the effects of functional groups in ustiloxin D on its activity, several derivatives were synthesized and their anti-tubulin activities were estimated. The N,N-dimethylamino derivative and the 14-O-methyl derivative were inactive (IC50 > 50 microM). 20-Hydroxymethylated ustiloxin D showed decreased inhibitory activity compared with ustiloxin D.
稻瘟病菌产生的稻曲毒素D具有强大的抗微管蛋白活性。为了阐明稻曲毒素D中官能团对其活性的影响,合成了几种衍生物并评估了它们的抗微管蛋白活性。N,N-二甲基氨基衍生物和14-O-甲基衍生物无活性(IC50>50 microM)。与稻曲毒素D相比,20-羟甲基化的稻曲毒素D显示出降低的抑制活性。
