Ergot Alkaloids Produced by Endophytic Fungi of the Genus Epichloë
The development of fungal endophytes of the genus Epichloë in grasses results in the production of different groups of alkaloids, whose mechanism and biological spectrum of toxicity can differ considerably. Ergot alkaloids, when present in endophyte-infected tall fescue, are responsible for "fescue toxicosis" in livestock, whereas indole-diterpene alkaloids, when present in endophyte-infected r...
متن کاملFattiviracins, Antiviral Antibiotics Produced by an Actinomycete
Most of the successes in the development of antivirals active against herpes viruses have been achieved with synthetic nucleoside analogues. It is well known that a synthetic chemotherapeutic agent, acyclovir, studied by Elion et al.1, 2), (awarded the Nobel Prize in the field of Physiology or Medicine, 1988), is the best medicine for herpes virus infections. Acyclovir has virus-specific activa...
متن کاملK-26, a novel inhibitor of angiotensin I converting enzyme produced by an actinomycete K-26.
A novel inhibitor of angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE), designated K-26, was isolated from the broth filtrate of an actiomycete K-26. K-26 is a water soluble, acidic peptide composed of an equal mol of L-isoleucine, L-tyrosine and 1(R)-1-amino-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethylphosphonic acid. The IC50 of K-26 for ACE inhibition was 6.7 ng/ml when hippuryl-L-histidyl-L-leucine was used as a substrat...
متن کاملA novel lantibiotic acting on bacterial cell wall synthesis produced by the uncommon actinomycete Planomonospora sp.
Important classes of antibiotics acting on bacterial cell wall biosynthesis, such as beta-lactams and glycopeptides, are used extensively in therapy and are now faced with a challenge because of the progressive spread of resistant pathogens. A discovery program was devised to target novel peptidoglycan biosynthesis inhibitors capable of overcoming these resistance mechanisms. The microbial prod...
متن کاملNovel antitrypanosomal agents.
Trypanosomes are the causative agents of Chagas' disease in Central and South America and sleeping sickness in sub-Saharan Africa. The current chemotherapy of the human trypanosomiases relies on only six drugs, five of which were developed > 30 years ago. In addition, these drugs display undesirable toxic side effects and the emergence of drug-resistant trypanosomes has been reported. Therefore...
