Synthesis and alpha-D-glucosidase inhibitory activity of N-substituted valiolamine derivatives as potential oral antidiabetic agents.

Various kinds of N-substituted valiolamine derivatives, including compounds 23a, 24a, and 34a, which are structurally analogous to the key pseudodisaccharides (25a and 26a) of naturally occurring oligosaccharide alpha-D-glucosidase inhibitors, have been synthesized and estimated by the measure of inhibitory activity against porcine sucrase and maltase. The N-substituted valiolamine derivatives evaluated in this study have been found to be more potent than the corresponding N-substituted valienamine derivatives as well as the parent valiolamine. It is noteworthy that even simple N-substituted valiolamine derivatives such as N-[2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl]-, N-[(1R,2R)-2-hydroxycyclohexyl]-, and N-[(R)-(-)-beta-hydroxyphenethyl]valiolamine (6, 8a, and 9a) have the stronger alpha-D-glucosidase inhibitory activity against porcine intestinal maltase and sucrase than naturally occurring oligosaccharide alpha-D-glucosidase inhibitors.

Bowen's disease associated with multiple myeloma.

The occurrence of Bowen's disease on unexposed area of the body in a 68-year-old man with multiple myeloma is reported. Not only non-reticular but also reticular malignancy should be taken into consideration as internal malignancy associated with Bowen's disease. The previous reports of Bowen's disease associated with reticular malignancy are also reviewed.

Alahopcin, a new dipeptide antibiotic produced by Streptomyces albulus subsp. ochragerus subsp. nov.

An actinomycete strain No. B-52653 was found to produce an antibiotic selectively active against the in vitro antibiotic resistant mutant of Staphylococcus aureus. Based on taxonomic studies, the name Streptomyces albulus subsp. ochragerus subsp. nov. is proposed for the strain. The microorganism produced two kinds of antibiotics; one identical with gougerotin, the other an amphoteric water soluble dipeptide containing L-alanine. The latter has the molecular formula C9H15N3O6 and is named alahopcin. It has a broad antibacterial spectrum and a synergistic effect with some other antibiotics against some antibiotic resistant staphylococci. Alahopcin has a low toxicity and was effective against experimental infections in mice caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

Isolation of dealanylalahopcin, a new amino acid, and its biological activity.

A new amino acid, dealanylalahopcin, was isolated from a culture filtrate of Streptomyces albulus subsp. ochragerus; it was also formed by the enzymatic hydrolysis of alahopcin using microbial alpha-amino acid ester hydrolase. The amino acid was obtained as colorless needles and its molecular formula is C6H10N2O5. It showed very weak antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and weak inhibitory activity against the collagen prolylhydroxylase.

Structure of alahopcin (nourseimycin), a new dipeptide antibiotic.

The structure of alahopcin (nourseimycin) (1), a new dipeptide antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces, has been established to be (2S, 3R)-2-[(L-alanyl)amino]-4-formyl-3-(hydroxy-aminocarbonyl)butyric acid. 1 exists in two cyclic hemiacetal type tautomers formed by intramolecular ring closure between the hydroxyamino group and the formyl group in aqueous solution. The structure of the new weakly acidic amino acid (2), a constituent of 1, is revealed to be (2S, 3R)-2-amino-4-formyl-3-(hydroxyaminocarbonyl)butyric acid, and 2 also exists in two cyclic hemiacetal type tautomers in aqueous solution.

Valiolamine, a new alpha-glucosidase inhibiting aminocyclitol produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus.

Valiolamine, a new aminocyclitol has been isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp. limoneus and its structure has been determined to be (1(OH),2,4,5/1,3)-5-amino-1-C-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2,3,4-cyclohexanetetr ol. Valiolamine has more potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity against porcine intestinal sucrase, maltase and isomaltase than valienamine, validamine and hydroxyvalidamine which were reported as building blocks of validamycins and microbial oligosaccharide alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. In addition, valienamine, validamine and hydroxyvalidamine have been isolated from the fermentation broth.
