Epoxomicin, a new antitumor agent of microbial origin.

چکیده
An actinomycete strain No. Q996-17 produced a novel compound, epoxomicin, which exhibited in vivo antitumor activity against B16 melanoma. Structural studies indicated that it is a new member of the epoxy-beta-aminoketone group, and is closely related to eponemycin.

Epoxomicin, a potent and selective proteasome inhibitor, exhibits in vivo antiinflammatory activity.
The proteasome regulates cellular processes as diverse as cell cycle progression and NF-kappaB activation. In this study, we show that the potent antitumor natural product epoxomicin specifically targets the proteasome. Utilizing biotinylated-epoxomicin as a molecular probe, we demonstrate that epoxomicin covalently binds to the LMP7, X, MECL1, and Z catalytic subunits of the proteasome. Enzyma...
متن کاملProduction and characterization of biochemical properties of L-Asparaginase by indigenous yeast isolated from soil of Iran
Introduction: The use of L-asparaginase as a chemotherapeutic agent is an effective strategy for the treatment of leukemic lymphoblasts. Since the use of bacterial L-asparaginase causes side effects due to hypersensitivity reactions, search for new enzyme sources is one of the active research areas. In this study, the characterization of produced L-asparaginase by indigenous yeast strains was i...
متن کاملEffects of Vitamin K3 on Cytotoxicity and DNA-binding Properties of a Palladium(II) Complex as a Potential Antitumor Agent
In many diseases such as cancer, simultaneous use of two or more pharmacologically active agents will be more effective and have fewer side effects. In this study a new palladium(II) complex with formula of [Pd(phen)(py-dtc)]NO3 (where is phen 1,10-phenanthroline and py-dtc is n-propyldithiocarbamate), was synthesized. The cytotoxic activity of this complex was tested against leukemia K562 cell...
متن کاملAntitumor properties of two traditional aromatic rice genotypes (Kalijira and Chinigura)
Objective: Methanol extract of bran and unpolished grain of two traditional aromatic rice genotypes viz. Kalijira and Chinigura were assayed for their activity on the growth and initiation of crown-gall tumors on potato disks. Materials and Methods: Three Agrobacterium tumefaciens (A. tumefaciens) strain AtSl0105, AtTa0112, and AtAc0114 were used as the tumor forming agent. Collected rice was s...
متن کاملSPR imaging biosensor for the 20S proteasome: sensor development and application to measurement of proteasomes in human blood plasma
The 20S proteasome is a multicatalytic enzyme complex responsible for intracellular protein degradation in mammalian cells. Its antigen level or enzymatic activity in blood plasma are potentially useful markers for various malignant and nonmalignant diseases. We have developed a method for highly selective determination of the 20S proteasome using a Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging (SPRI) tech...
