UK-3A is secondary metabolite of Streptomyces sp.517-02 which has IC50 38 µg/mL against P388 Murine Leukemia cells. An analogue of UK-3A was synthesized from L-methyl serine as the starting material by amidation and esterification. An analogue UK-3A was analyzed and identified by TLC, FT-IR, LC-MS and NMR spectrometer. It was found to have IC50 15.4µg/mL against the same Leukemia cells. The overall yield was 87.10%. Keywords: UK-3A, Streptomyces sp. 517-02, Anticancer, P388 Murine Leukeumia cell
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
