Outline of Final Research Achievements

We could find a lot of novel bioactive substances such as biselyngbyolides A and B and kurahayne from marine cyanobacteria collected at Okinawa and Amami Islands in Kagoshima Prefecture. These compounds induced apoptosis based on their ER stress. Crystallization and structure determination of sacro-endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) complexed with biselyngbyaside and biselyngbyolide B were achieved. Biselyngbyasides bind to SERCA with unique binding mode. We achieved chemical synthesis of biselyngbyolides A and B.
