“…Thus biological evaluation of analogues 1-8 illustrated above indicated that 1 was a weak inhibitor of both topoisomerase II and tubulin polymerization, whereas 2 was only a weak inhibitor of topoisomerase II. The enantiomers (3 and 4) and diastereomers (5)(6)(7)(8) were inactive in both the tubulin polymerization assay and topoisomerase II-mediated DNA relaxation assay. In terms of the stereochemistry of the amino acids present in the diketopiperazine ring, biological evaluation indicated that ligands with the absolute configuration L-Tyr-L-Pro (natural stereochemistry as in 1 and 2) were essential for inhibition of tubulin polymerization and/or topoisomerase II.…”

“…They were allowed to proceed for 5 min and were terminated by the addition of ethyl acetate. Because enzyme activity was stable at lower than 20 C under the assay conditions in this study, we ran the enzyme reactions at 15 C. The reaction products were extracted with ethyl acetate and analyzed by HPLC and LC/ESI-MS. HPLC analysis was carried out with a Waters ACQUITY UPLC H-Class system (Waters, Milford, MA). The conditions were as follows: column, BEH C18 (2:1 Â 50 mm, 1.7 mm, Waters); flow rate, 0.6 mL/min; solvent A, water containing 0.05% v/v formic acid; solvent B, acetonitrile.…”

“…11,12) A genetic study of a nonribosomal peptide synthetase gene, ftmA, and biochemical studies of two prenyltransferase genes, ftmB and ftmH (also termed ftmPT1 and ftmPT2, respectively), showed that the ftm cluster is associated with the FTM biosynthetic pathway, 4,13,14) but no FTM production was detected in a genome reference strain of A. fumigatus, Af293. 13) Hence, we utilized an FTMproducing strain of A. fumigatus, BM939, 15) to dissect the FTM pathway, and demonstrated the functions of three cytochrome P450s, FtmC, FtmE, and FtmG, in the biosynthetic pathway. 8) In addition, a unique function of -ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase FtmF (also termed ftmOx1), which catalyzes endoperoxide bond formation in verruculogen, was recently reported.…”

“…Multicomponent reactions (MCR) have emerged as a powerful tool for delivering the molecular diversity needed in the combinational approaches for the preparation of active compounds [1]. The spirooxindole framework [2], represents an important structural organization present in a number of bioactive natural products, such as coerulescine, horstiline, welwitindolinone A, Spirotryprostatin A, [3] a natural alkaloid isolated from the fermentation broth of Aspergillus fumigates, has been identified as a novel inhibitor of microtubule assembly and the function of muscarinic serotonin receptors [4].The 3-substituted indole nucleus substructure is one of the important heterocycles found in natural products, pharmaceuticals and is important in medicinal chemistry [5]. Its scaffolds are found in a number of biologically active compounds with anticancer,anti-tumour [6], antiinflammatory, hypoglycemic, analgesic and anti-pyretic activities.…”
