Although (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has been reported to induce apoptosis in a variety of tumor cells, detailed mechanisms remain to be explored. In the present study, we investigated the… Expand
Inhibition of the acidification of endosomes and lysosomes by the antibiotic concanamycin B in macrophage J774.
- J. Woo, C. Shinohara, K. Sakai, K. Hasumi, A. Endo
- Biology, Medicine
- European journal of biochemistry
- 1 July 1992
The antibiotic concanamycin B was found to inhibit oxidized-low-density-lipoprotein(LDL)-induced accumulation of lipid droplets in the macrophage J774 at a concentration of 5-10 nM. Concanamycin B… Expand

Four new analogues of concanamycin family, designated concanamycins D, E, F G, were isolated from the mycelium of Streptomyces sp. A1509 by solvent extraction, silica gel column chromatography and… Expand
Specific inhibition of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase by koningic acid (heptelidic acid).
A sesquiterpene named koningic acid has been isolated from a strain of Trichoderma koningii as a potent inhibitor of ATP generation in the glycolytic pathway. From experiments with both cultured… Expand

SMTP-7 (Stachybotrys microspora triprenyl phenol-7), a small molecule that promotes plasminogen activation through the modulation of plasminogen conformation, has excellent therapeutic activity… Expand
Identification of koningic acid (heptelidic acid)-modified site in rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
The sesquiterpene antibiotic koningic acid (heptelidic acid) has been previously demonstrated to modify glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in specific manner, probably by binding to the… Expand
