SB-253514 and Analogues: Novel Inhibitors of Lipoprotein Associated Phospholipase A₂ Produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens DSM 11579

II. Physico-chemical Properties and Structure Elucidation

Abstract

A series of novel inhibitors of lipoprotein associated phospholipase A₂ were, isolated from the culture broths of Pseudomonas fluorescens strain DSM11579. The inhibitors fall into two structurally isomeric classes each of which comprise compounds incorporating glycosylated hydrocarbon chains. The structure elucidation for the major member of each structural class is reported. The crystal structure of a non-glycosylated analogue of the 5, 5-series, produced through biotransformation, is also reported.
