A novel potent cell cycle inhibitor dehydrophenylahistin--enzymatic synthesis and inhibitory activity toward sea urchin embryo.
A novel dehydrogenated cyclic dipeptide named as dehydrophenylahistin (deltaPLH) was effectively prepared from a fungal metabolite (-)-phenylahistin by the enzymatic conversion catalyzed by the cell-free extract of Streptomyces albulus KO-23, an albonoursin-producing actinomycete. deltaPLH exhibited more than 1,000 times as high potent inhibitory activity toward the first cleavage of sea urchin embryos as (-)-phenylahisitn which has been reported to be a cell cycle inhibitor and more than 10,000 as high as albonoursin, indicating that deltaPLH is a promising leading compound for anticancer drugs.
