5-Demethoxyfumagillol, a Potent Angiogenesis Inhibitor Isolated from Aspergillus fumigatus

抄録

A novel angiogenesis inhibitor, 5-demethoxyfumagillol (1), was obtained by isolation, purification and saponification of cultured broth of Aspergillus fumigatus. The structure was assigned as (3R,4R,6R)-4-[(2R,3R)-2-methyl-3-(3-methyl-but-2-enyl)-oxiranyl]-1-oxa-spiro[2,5]octan-6-ol (1) by spectroscopic analysis and confirmed by independent synthesis from fumagillol (3). In addition, 6-O-(chloroacetylcarbamoyl)-5-demethoxyfumagillol (7) showed a potential anti-angiogenic activity in CAPE cells in vitro.
