Fungal transformations of triparanol.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fungal transformations of triparanol, a hypercholesterolemic drug, were studied in Lagenidium giganteum and Lagenidium callinectes. The products were identified by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Two metabolites were observed from each organism; only one of the metabolites was found in both organisms.

Inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis by triparanol in rheumatoid arthritis.
Triparanol (/3-L-diethylaminoethoxyphenyl-l-[-ptolyl]-2-p-chlorophenyl)* is an efficient inhibitor of endogenous cholesterol biosynthesis (Blohm and MacKenzie, 1959). It seems to prevent the conversion of 24-dehydrocholesterol (desmotserol) to cholesterol (Avigan, Steinberg, Thompson, and Mosettig, 1960; Frantz, Mobberley, and Schroepfer, 1960). Recently, it has been shown that triparanol, in d...
متن کاملTriggering of Erythrocyte Death by Triparanol
The cholesterol synthesis inhibitor Triparanol has been shown to trigger apoptosis in several malignancies. Similar to the apoptosis of nucleated cells, erythrocytes may enter eryptosis, the suicidal death characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine translocation to the erythrocyte surface. Triggers of eryptosis include oxidative stress which may activat...

C1 transfer to the AZ4 bond of 8,24-lanostadien-3/I-ol (lanosterol) or of 9,19-cycle-24-lanosten30-01 (cycloartenol) was inhibited by triparanol when either of the two steroids was incubated with methionine as the C!, source in a cell-free system from germinating peas. Specificity was demonstrated by the failure of triparanol to inhibit any of the steps between mevalonate and squalene. The mech...
متن کاملUltrastructural changes produced by triparanol in Morris 5123 and Novikoff hepatomas.
Force feeding of large amounts of triparanol to rats bearing transplanted hepatomas results in appearance of myeloid bodies in liver cells and in hepatoma cells. The myeloid bodies are most numerous in liver cells, less abundant in the cells of Morris 5123 hepatoma, and rare in the cells of Novikoff hepatoma. The quantity of myeloid bodies can be correlated with development of endoplasmic retic...
