Bioactive metabolites from Phoma species, an endophytic fungus from the Chinese medicinal plant Arisaema erubescens.

Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 93(3) , 1231-9, (2012)

Through bioassay-guided fractionation, the EtOAc extract of a culture broth of the endophytic fungus Phoma species ZJWCF006 in Arisaema erubescens afforded a new α-tetralone derivative, (3S)-3,6,7-trihydroxy-α-tetralone (1), together with cercosporamide (2), ...

Inhibition of Mnk kinase activity by cercosporamide and suppressive effects on acute myeloid leukemia precursors.

Blood 121(18) , 3675-81, (2013)

Mnk kinases regulate the phosphorylation and activation of the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), a protein that plays key roles in the initiation of messenger RNA translation and whose activity is critical for various cellular functions. eIF4E is dereg...

Cloning and characterization of KNR4, a yeast gene involved in (1,3)-beta-glucan synthesis.

Mol. Cell. Biol. 14(2) , 1017-25, (1994)

k9 killer toxin from Hansenula mrakii was used to select a number of resistant mutants from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Preliminary biochemical and genetic studies showed that some of them acquired structural defects in the cell wall. One of these mutants, the ...

Fermentative production of self-toxic fungal secondary metabolites.

J. Ind. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 37(4) , 335-40, (2010)

Fungi are well known for their vast diversity of secondary metabolites that include many life-saving drugs and highly toxic mycotoxins. In general, fungal cultures producing such metabolites are immune to their toxic effects. However, some are known to produc...

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel (-)-Cercosporamide derivatives as potent selective PPARγ modulators.

Eur. J. Med. Chem. 54 , 522-33, (2012)

Selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) modulators are expected to be a novel class of drugs improving plasma glucose levels without PPARγ-related adverse effects. As a continuation of our studies for (-)-Cercosporamide derivatives ...

Discovery of a novel selective PPARgamma modulator from (-)-Cercosporamide derivatives.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 20(7) , 2095-8, (2010)

In an investigation of (-)-Cercosporamide derivatives with a plasma glucose-lowering effect, we found that N-benzylcarboxamide derivative 4 was a partial agonist of PPARgamma. A SAR study of the substituents on carboxamide nitrogen afforded the N-(1-naphthyl)...

Substituents at the naphthalene C3 position of (-)-Cercosporamide derivatives significantly affect the maximal efficacy as PPARγ partial agonists.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 22(3) , 1348-51, (2012)

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a potential drug target for treating type 2 diabetes. The selective PPARγ modulators (SPPARMs), which partially activate the PPARγ transcriptional activity, are considered to improve the plasma gluco...

Pharmacology and in vitro profiling of a novel peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ ligand, Cerco-A.

Biol. Pharm. Bull. 34(7) , 1094-104, (2011)

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ; NR1C3) is known as a key regulator of adipocytogenesis and the molecular target of thiazolidinediones (TZDs), also known as antidiabetic agents. Despite the clinical benefits of TZDs, their use is often ass...
