微生物来源的二氢乳清酸脱氢酶抑制剂F01WB-1315A，B

摘要：目的 从微生物次生代谢产物中筛选免疫相关疾病治疗药物重要靶点—－二氢乳清酸脱氢酶的抑制剂。方法 利用自建的快速、高效的二氢乳清酸脱氢酶抑制剂的高通量筛选方法,从4560株真菌菌株中筛选阳性菌株。阳性菌株的发酵产物进行分离纯化获得活性化合物,再通过对活性化合物的紫外、质谱、核磁等理化数据的分析进行结构鉴定。结果 筛选分离得到2个活性化合物F01WB-1315A和F01WB-1315B。F01WB-1315A对二氢乳清酸脱氢酶有强的抑制活性,IC50=0.07 μg/mL,于20 μg/mL浓度下对体外     

Selective cytotoxicity of ascochlorin in ER-negative human breast cancer cell lines

While agents targeting estrogen receptors are most effective in adjuvant therapy for human breast cancers expressing estrogen receptors after surgery, breast cancers lacking estrogen receptor are clinically serious, because they are highly malignant and exhibit resistance to the usual anti-cancer drugs, including estrogen receptor-antagonists and DNA breaking agents. Here, we found that MX-1, a human breast cancer cell line lacking estrogen receptors, exhibited higher AP-1 activity and expressed higher levels of c-Jun, c-Fos, and Fra-1 when compared with conventional estrogen receptor-positive human breast cancer cell lines. The prenylphenol antibiotic ascochlorin suppressed the AP-1 activity of MX-1 cells, and selectively killed MX-1 cells, partly due to induction of apoptosis. Our results suggest that AP-1 is an effective clinical target molecule for the treatment of estrogen receptor-negative human breast cancer.
