نویسندگان
چکیده
WF-2421 is a novel aldose reductase inhibitor produced by Humicola grisea. WF-2421 was purified from the culture filtrate by successive ion exchange chromatography and the chemical structure was assigned to be alpha-formamido-5'-(2-formamido-1-hydroxyethyl)- beta,2',6-trihydroxy-3-biphenylpropanoic acid (1) on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. The IC50 value of WF-2421 was 3 x 10(-8) M against partially purified aldose reductase of rabbit lens.

Studies on WF-3681, a novel aldose reductase inhibitor. I. Taxonomy, fermentation, isolation and characterization.
WF-3681 was isolated from a cultured filtrate of Chaetomella raphigera as a novel inhibitor of aldose reductase. It was extracted with ethyl acetate and then purified with silica gel chromatography. Its molecular formula was determined to be C13H12O5 by elemental analysis and high resolution electron impact mass spectrometry. IC50 of WF-3681 was 2.5 X 10(-7) M for partially purified aldose redu...
متن کاملStudies on WF-3681, a novel aldose reductase inhibitor. IV. Effect of FR-62765, a derivative of WF-3681, on the diabetic neuropathy in rats.
Pharmacokinetic properties of WF-3681 and FR-62765 in rats were examined. FR-62765 showed higher peak concentrations in the plasma and higher concentrations in the sciatic nerve than WF-3681 when each compound was administered orally to rats. We therefore evaluated FR-62765 in rats with diabetic neuropathy. As a result, FR-62765 at 32 mg/kg/day administered for 3 weeks to streptozotocin-induced...

Objective(s):In recent years, the chemistry of Tetrazolo[5',1':2,3][1,3,4]thiadiazepino [7,6-b]quinolines have received considerable attention owing to their synthetic and effective biological importance which exhibits a wide variety of biological activity. As the inhibitor of aldose reductase, the aforementioned compounds may have implication in preventing complications of diabetes. Materials...
متن کاملPurification and Characterization of a New Xylanase from Humicola Grisea Var. Thermoidea
The thermophilic fungus Humicola grisea var. thermoidea secretes extracellular xylanase when grown on solid and in liquid media containing wheat bran and banana plant residue as substrates, respectively. At 55oC, xylanase from the culture filtrate of H. grisea var. thermoidea grown on banana stalk retained 50% of its activity after 28 h of incubation. A xylanase (X2) was isolated from solid sta...
