MR-387A and B, new aminopeptidase N inhibitors, produced by Streptomyces neyagawaensis SL-387.
become new drugs for cancer treatment, not as biological response modifiers (BRM), but as anti-cancer chemicals exerting direct suppressive action on the growth or metastasis of certain cancers. Thus, the specific inhibition ofAP-N could be a new approach to suppress the growth or metastasis of cancer. During the screening for new inhibitors of aminopeptidase N, we obtained new substances MR-38...
متن کاملCatechoyl-Dipeptides as Leucine Aminopeptidase Inhibitors
Compounds consisting of the catechol group con nected to an amino acid or a small peptide only re cently have been the subject of few papers concern ing their structure-activity relationship. A number of 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid amides such as polyamine derivatives: parabactin [1 ], agrobactin [2], vibriobactin [3], or amino acid derivatives: glycine [4], lysine [5], serine [6 ], and threon...
متن کاملIdentifying inhibitors of the SARS coronavirus proteinase.
The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is a serious respiratory illness that has recently been reported in parts of Asia and Canada. In this study, we use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and docking techniques to screen 29 approved and experimental drugs against the theoretical model of the SARS CoV proteinase as well as the experimental structure of the transmissible gastroenteritis ...
متن کاملModelling of potentially promising SARS protease inhibitors
In many cases, at the beginning of a high throughput screening experiment some information about active molecules is already available. Active compounds (such as substrate analogues, natural products and inhibitors of related proteins) are often identified in low throughput validation studies on a biochemical target. Sometimes the additional structural information is also available from crystal...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of novel inhibitors of Mammalian aspartyl aminopeptidase.
Aspartyl aminopeptidase (DNPEP) has been implicated in the control of angiotensin signaling and endosome trafficking, but its precise biologic roles remain incompletely defined. We performed a high-throughput screen of ∼25,000 small molecules to identify inhibitors of DNPEP for use as tools to study its biologic functions. Twenty-three confirmed hits inhibited DNPEP-catalyzed hydrolysis of angi...
