چکیده
Active oxygen species cause a variety of diseases such as inflammation, autoimmune disease, diabetes, rheumatism, cardiovascular diseases and cancer-initiation1>2). Thus, it could be expected that antioxidative agents may prevent these diseases. We have screened antioxidants of microbial origin by employing the Yagi method after minor modification using rat liver microsome free from vitamin E3). As a result, we succeeded in isolating a new antioxidative agent, named naphterpin. In this paper, we report the fermentation, isolation and structure determination of naphterpin. The producing microorganism Streptomyces sp. CL190 was isolated from Ishigaki Island, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. It was inoculated into test tubes containing 12ml of the seed medium consisting of glucose 2.5%, soybean meal 1.5%, dry yeast 0.2% and CaCO3 0.4% (pH 6.2, before sterilization). After incubation at 27°Cfor 2 days on a reciprocal shaker, an aliquot of the broth (2ml) was transferred into 500-ml Erlenmeyer flasks each containing 100 ml of the samemediumas the seed culture and incubated at 27°C for 2 days on a rotary shaker.

ISOLATION AND STRUCTURAL ELUCIDATION OF THE FIRST KNOWN C-HOMOPROTOBERBERINE
A novel C-homoprotoberberine alkaloid, Hediamine (2), has been isolated from the roots of Berberis actinucantha (Berberidaceae). Conclusive proof for the structure of hediamine was obtained by its comparison with the isomeric lactam (4), by chemical transformation, and by means of spectroscopic techniques (UV, IR, MS, NMR).
متن کاملHPLC-SPE-NMR: a productivity tool in natural products research
Natural products provide excellent potential leads for drug development because of their chemical diversity and biological functionality. However, the productivity of discovery of new, pharmacologically active natural products has traditionally been low due to inherent difficulties and costs associated with extract dereplication, i.e., isolation, purification and structure elucidation of indivi...

متن کاملIsolation and Structural Elucidation of New Xanthone from Rot Bark of Cratoxylum sumatranum
Sumatranaxanthone A (1), a new xanthone, was isolated from the rot bark of Cratoxylum sumatranum. The structures were established based on spectroscopic studies, notably of the 1D and 2D NMR spectra. Preliminary results showed that 1 has antioxidative activity with inhibition 81% to fit with ascorbat acid standard.
متن کاملNew Naphthoquinone Terpenoids from Marine Actinobacterium, Streptomyces sp. CNQ-509
A member of the marine streptomycete clade MAR4, Streptomyces sp. CNQ-509, has genetic potential for the biosynthesis of hybrid isoprenoids and produces several meroterpenoids such as naphterpin, nitropyrrolin and marinophenazine. Our research on the strain CNQ-509 led to the isolation of two new naphterpin derivatives (1 and 2) comprised of naphthoquinone and geranyl moieties along with the kn...
