Directed biosynthesis of fluorinated pseurotin A, synerazol and gliotoxin.

چکیده
Aspergillus fumigatus TP-F0196 produces pseurotin A, synerazol and gliotoxin. Phenylalanine is a common biosynthetic precursor of these antibiotics. Feeding fluorophenylalanine to the culture induced the production of novel fluorinated analogs. These fluorinated antibiotics were obtained from the culture broth by solvent extraction and purified by chromatographies, and their antimicrobial and antitumor activities were investigated. Among the novel fluorinated analogs, 19- and 20-fluorosynerazols exhibited potent anti-angiogenic activity in the chorioallantoic membrane assay. In addition, 19-fluorosynerazol showed more potent cytocidal activity against several cancer cell lines than synerazol.

Synerazol, a new antifungal antibiotic.
Synerazol, a new antifungal antibiotic, was isolated from cultured broth of Aspergillus fumigatus SANK 10588. The structure was determined based on NMR and mass spectral evidences. Synerazol was found to be a related substance to pseurotin A. Synerazol was active against Candida albicans and other fungi, and showed marked synergistic activity with azole-type antifungal agents.
متن کاملThe MAP kinase MpkA controls cell wall integrity, oxidative stress response, gliotoxin production and iron adaptation in Aspergillus fumigatus
The saprophytic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is the most important air-borne fungal pathogen. The cell wall of A. fumigatus has been studied intensively as a potential target for development of effective antifungal agents. A major role in maintaining cell wall integrity is played by the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) MpkA. To gain a comprehensive insight into this central signal transd...

Feeding of fluorinated benzoic acids to fermentations of a Phoma sp. resulted in the biosynthesis of a series of novel fluorinated squalestatins. The feeding studies, isolation, structural elucidation and biological activities of these compounds are reported.
متن کاملReconstitution of the early steps of gliotoxin biosynthesis in Aspergillus nidulans reveals the role of the monooxygenase GliC.
The gliotoxin, a member of the epipolythiodioxopiperazine (ETP), has received considerable attention from the scientific community for its wide range of biological activity. Despite the identification of gliotoxin cluster, however, the sequence of steps in the gliotoxin biosynthesis has remained elusive. As an alternative to the gene knock-out and biochemical approaches used so far, here we rep...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of the antibiotic tropodithietic acid by the marine bacterium Phaeobacter inhibens.
The biosynthesis of tropodithietic acid was investigated using a combinatorial approach of feeding experiments, gene knockouts and bioinformatic analyses. The mechanism of sulfur introduction is distinct from known mechanisms in holomycin, thiomarinol A and gliotoxin biosynthesis.
