Isolation and identification of FR198248, a hydroxylated 1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran, from Aspergillus flavipes as an inhibitor of peptide deformylase.

Yun-Ju Kwon, Chang-Ji Zheng, and Won-Gon Kim

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem 74(2):390-3 (2010) PMID 20139618

Two highly hydroxylated 1,3-dihydroisobenzofurans, FR198248 (1) and FR202306 (2), were isolated as peptide deformylase (PDF) inhibitors from Aspergillus flavipes. Compounds 1 and 2 inhibited Staphylococus aureus PDF with IC(50) values of 3.6 and 2.5 microM, respectively, and also showed antibacterial activity with an MIC value of 25 microg/ml. In contrast, 6-O-methyl derivative 3 of compound 2 was inactive against both PDF and S. aureus.

    We isolated (+)-taxifolin (4) from silymarin as an inhibitor of aggregation of the 42-residue amyloid β-protein. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed the 3',4'-dihydroxyl groups to be critical to the anti-aggregative ability, whereas the 7-hydroxyl group and the stereochemistry at posit...

    We compared the gene expression profiles between the pansensitive H37Rv strain and a clinical CIBIN:UMF:15:99 multidrug-resistant isolate using microarray analysis. Quantitative real-time PCR confirmed that in the clinical multidrug-resistant isolate, the esxG, esxH, rpsA, esxI, and rpmI genes were...
