Hoiamide D, a marine cyanobacteria-derived inhibitor of p53/MDM2 interaction
摘要:
Bioassay-guided fractionation of two cyanobacterial extracts from Papua New Guinea has yielded hoiamide D in both its carboxylic acid and conjugate base forms. Hoiamide D is a polyketide synthase (PKS)/non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS)-derived natural product that features two consecutive thiazolines and a thiazole, as well as a modified isoleucine residue. Hoiamide D displayed inhibitory activity against p53/MDM2 interaction (EC50 = 4.5 mu M), an attractive target for anticancer drug development. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
