Abstract:
Futalosine, a new nucleoside analog, was isolated from a fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. MK359-NF1. Some chemical derivatives of futalosine were prepared. 6-O-Methylfutalosine methylester inhibited growth of HeLa-S3 cells in vitro (IC50 = 19.5 micrograms/ml) in contrast to the weak activity of futalosine. 6-O-Methylfutalosine methylester at concentrations higher than 10 micrograms/ml inhibited incorporation of 3H-TdR and 3H-UR but not 3H-Leu in the acid-soluble fractions of HeLa-S3 cells.
