Biosynthetic Studies on Water-Soluble Derivative 5c (DTX5c)

چکیده
The dinoflagellate Prorocentrum belizeanum is responsible for the production of several toxins involved in the red tide phenomenon known as Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP). In this paper we report on the biosynthetic origin of an okadaic acid water-soluble ester derivative, DTX5c, on the basis of the spectroscopical analysis of ¹³C enriched samples obtained by addition of labelled sodium [l-¹³C], [2-¹³C] acetate to artificial cultures of this dinoflagellate.

Photocatalytic hydrogen production from a noble metal free system based on a water soluble porphyrin derivative and a cobaloxime catalyst.
A combination of noble-metal free components, a water soluble porphyrin photosensitizer zinc meso-tetrakis(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin chloride [ZnTMPyP(4+)]Cl4 (1) with cobaloxime complex [Co(III)(dmgH)2(py)Cl] (2) as a catalyst, creates an efficient system for photochemical hydrogen production acting under visible light with 280 TONs. This is the first example of a water soluble porphyr...
متن کاملNew Benefits of a Novel Ascorbic Acid Derivative on Skin Homeostasis - 3-o-laurylglyceryl Ascorbate -
To improve the disadvantages of existing water-soluble ascorbic acid (AsA) derivatives on their skin moisturizing effects, we added a laurylglyceryl group to AsA to produce 3-O-laurylglyceryl ascorbate (3LGA). In studies to assess the efficacy of 3LGA, we found that it had new functions not seen in AsA. Although 3LGA had less ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), it elicited a supe...
متن کاملAntibacterial characteristics and activity of water-soluble chitosan derivatives prepared by the Maillard reaction.
The antibacterial activity of water-soluble chitosan derivatives prepared by Maillard reactions against Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, and Salmonella typhimurium was examined. Relatively high antibacterial activity against various microorganisms was noted for the chitosan-glucosamine derivative as compared to the acid-solu...
متن کاملImmunochemical characterization of the MPB70/80 and MPB83 proteins of Mycobacterium bovis.
MPB70 and MPB80 (MPB70/80) and MPB83 are closely related antigens which are highly expressed in Mycobacterium bovis. MPB70/80 are soluble secreted antigens, while MPB83 is an exported lipoprotein associated with the bacterial surface. In the present study, these antigens had different mobilities in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing and nonreducing conditio...
متن کاملThe effect of crocin (a derivative of Crocus sativus L.) on neural development and regeneration of rat: in vivo and in vitro study
In this study, the effect of crocin, a substance found in Crocus sativus L. stigmata on nervous system development and regeneration was investigated. Crocin is a glycosyl ester of the polyene dicarboxylic acid crocetin and is one of the few families of carotenoids found in nature, which are freely soluble in water. In the first experiment, the effect of crocin (30 microM, 60 microM and 120 micr...
