In the course of a screening program for specific inhibitors of human topoisomerase I using a recombinant yeast, we have discovered four new active compounds. All four compounds were isolated from the culture broth of a fungus, Phoma sp. BAUA2861, and two of them were isolated from the culture broth of a fungus, Penicillium sp. BAUA4206. We designated these compounds as topopyrones A, B, C and D. Topopyrones A, B, C and D selectively inhibited recombinant yeast growth dependent on expression of human topoisomerase I with IC50 values of 1.22, 0.15, 4.88 and 19.63ng/ml, respectively. The activity and selectivity of topopyrone B were comparable to those of camptothecin. The relaxation of supercoiled pBR322 DNA by human DNA topoisomerase I was inhibited by these compounds, however they did not inhibit human DNA topoisomerase II. Topopyrones A, B, C and D were cytotoxic to all tumor cell lines when tested in vitro. Topopyrone B has potent inhibitory activity against herpesvirus, especially varicella zoster virus (VZV). It inhibited VZV growth with EC50 value of 0.038μg/ml, which is 24-fold stronger than that of acyclovir (0.9μg/rnl). Topopyrones A, B, and C were inhibitory to Grampositive bacteria.
在利用重组酵母筛选人类拓扑异构酶I特异性抑制剂的过程中,我们发现了四种新的活性化合物。这四种化合物都是从真菌Phoma sp. BAUA2861的培养液中分离出来的,其中两种是从真菌Penicillium sp. BAUA4206的培养液中分离出来的。我们将这些化合物命名为拓扑霉素A、B、C和D。拓扑霉素A、B、C和D分别以1.22、0.15、4.88和19.63ng/ml的IC50值选择性抑制了依赖人类拓扑异构酶I表达的重组酵母生长。拓扑霉素B的活性和选择性堪比喜树碱。这些化合物抑制了人类DNA拓扑异构酶I对超螺旋pBR322 DNA的松弛作用,但它们并不抑制人类DNA拓扑异构酶II。体外测试表明,拓扑霉素A、B、C和D对所有肿瘤细胞系都有细胞毒性。拓扑霉素B对疱疹病毒,尤其是水痘带状疱疹病毒(VZV)有很强的抑制活性。它以0.038μ
