Glucolipsin A and B, two new glucokinase activators produced by Streptomyces purpurogeniscleroticus and Nocardia vaccinii.

چکیده
During the screening of the natural products for their ability to increase the activity of glucokinase by relieving inhibition by long chain fatty acyl CoA esters (FAC), two novel compounds, glucolipsin A (1) and B (2) were isolated from the butanol extracts of Streptomyces purpurogeniscleroticus WC71634 and Nocardia vaccinii WC65712, respectively. The structures of these two compounds were established by spectroscopic methods and chemical degradation. Glucolipsin A (1) and B (2) relieved the inhibition of glucokinase by FAC with RC50 values of 5.4 and 4.6 microM.

Molecular methodologies have become useful techniques for the identification of pathogenic Nocardia species and for the recognition of novel species that are capable of causing human disease. Two isolates recovered from immunocompromised patients were characterized as Nocardia nova by biochemical and susceptibility testing results. The restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns ob...

Eight actinomycete strains, isolated from 8 out of 400 sputum samples examined, taken from patients with pulmonary diseases at the Chest Unit of Khartoum Teaching Hospital in the Sudan, were provisionally assigned to the genus Nocardia according to morphological criteria. These isolates were studied further in order to establish their taxonomic status. They were found to have morphological and ...
متن کاملA new antibiotic,, asukamycin, produced by Streptomyces.
Asukamycin, a new antibiotic, has been isolated from the culture broth of a streptomycete designated as Streptomyces nodosus subsp. asukaensis. The antibiotic inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria including Nocardia asteroides. The empirical formula of antibiotic asukamycin has been proposed as C29H22N2O9 (M.W. 542). An acute toxicity of the antibiotic in mice is LD50 48.5 mg/kg by intr...

Marine microorganisms are important sources for novel natural products. Hence, the aim of this study was to introduce marine microorganisms with the capability of producing antioxidant and cytotoxic metabolites. For this purpose, ten live sea cucumbers (Holothuria leucospilota) were collected from Larak Island, Persian Gulf. Then, their intestine contents were serially diluted and treated by he...

Background: Streptomyces is one of the most important prokaryotic microorganisms, and their secondary metabolites have high antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties. Three-quarters of the antibiotics known to be produced by these bacteria. As a result, finding new effective compounds from these microorganisms can be a way to treat cancer. The aim of this study was to isolate and screen halophilic...
