摘要:
The present invention relates to a procedure for the production of tiacumicin B comprising fermentation of a micro-organism capable of producing tiacumicin B, in particular of the species Dactylosporangium aurantiacum or Actinoplanes deccanensis, in a culture broth containing emulsifiers, such as ethoxylated castor oil, in combination with antifoaming products and vegetable oils.
摘要:
Fructosylated puerarin being converted from puerarin by a bioconversion method conducted in an aqueous phase or nonaqueous phase system, including monofructosyl-(2,6)-puerarin, bifructosyl-(2,6)-puerarin, trifructosyl-(2,6)-puerarin, tetrafructosyl-(2,6)-puerarin and pentafructosyl-(2,6)-puerarin. Tests have shown that the oligosaccharylated puerarin is effective to treat acute myocardial ischemia, and can markedly suppress in vitro the proliferation of human breast cancer cell strain MDA-MB-23 and human chronmyelogenors leukemia cell strain K562, and it has a low toxicity.
摘要:
The object of the present invention is to provide &agr;1,4-galactosyltransferase to transfer a galactose residue to C4 position of galactose residue of lactosylceramide or galactosylceramide, and DNA coding for the enzyme. What is provided includes the following polypeptides (a) and (b), and DNAs encoding thereof: (a) a polypeptide consisting of an amino acid sequence represented by the amino acid Nos. 46-353 in SEQ ID NO: 2; or (b) a polypeptide which comprises an amino acid sequence including substitution, deletion, insertion or transposition of one or few amino acids in the amino acid sequence of (a) and which has an enzymatic activity to transfer a galactose residue from a galactose donor to C4 position of galactose residue of lactosylceramide or galactosylceramide which serves as an acceptor.

摘要:
.alpha.-Glycosyl-L-ascorbic acid exhibiting no direct reducing activity is formed in a solution containing L-ascorbic acid and an .alpha.-glucosyl saccharide when subjected to the action of a saccharide-transferring enzyme. .alpha.-Glycosyl-L-ascorbic acid is superiorly stable, and readily hydrolyzable in vivo to exhibit the activities inherent to L-ascorbic acid. Thus, .alpha.-glycosyl-L-ascorbic acid is favorably useful as a stabilizer, quality-improving agent, antioxidant, physiologically active agent and uv-absorbent in food pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
摘要:
2-O-.alpha.-D-Glucopyranosyl-L-ascrobic acid is crystallizable in its supersaturated solution. Crystalline 2-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid is substantially nonhygroscopic, free flowing, free of deliquescence, consolidation and direct reducing activity, but is readily soluble in water. Because of these characteristics, crystalline 2-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid is handleable with an ease, and superiorly high in stability and physiological activities. Thus, crystalline 2-O-.alpha.-D-glucopyranosyl-L-acorbic acid is favorably useful in vitamin C-enriching agents, foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

摘要:
This invention provides detailed sequence analysis and characterization of the gene cluster responsible for the synthesis of bleomycin in Streptomyces verticillus. The bleomycin gene cluster provides the first hybrid polyketide synthase/nonribosomal peptide synthetase pathway and elucidation of the various modules and enzymatic domains characterizing the pathway provides convenient synthetic routes for bleomycins, bleomycin analogs, and various other polyketides.
摘要:
The present invention is based upon the discovery that a MeOH extract of Anabaena affinis strain VS-1 showed strong cytotoxicity to L1210 murine leukemia cells, and from that extract was isolated the compounds having the following structures, Compounds 1 and 2. These two compounds are believed to be responsible for the cytotoxicity of the marine organism. This is the first report of the isolation and characterization of pyrrolo[3,2-d] pyrimidine derivatives as biosynthetic products. ##STR1##
摘要:
An antibiotic complex, containing three major components, has been isolated from fermentations of a new strain of the microorganism Streptomyces hirautus. The major components are new, neutral, macrolide antibiotic compounds, which are useful as antibacterial agents against certain gram-positive bacteria.
摘要:
Actinomadura melliaura nov. sp. (ATCC 39691) produces four novel compounds which we have designated AT 2433 A.sub.1, AT 2433 A.sub.2, AT 2433 B.sub.1 and AT 2433 B.sub.2. The novel compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof exhibit antibacterial and antitumor activity.
