| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have been searching for natural products, which inhibit the ubiquitin-proteasome system, as drug leads for treatment of cancer. In this project, we studied on the inhibitors of the ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1). We prepared several derivatives of hyrtioreticulin A, which was isolated from the marine sponge as the E1 inhibitor by us, and examined the inhibitory activities of E1. Furthermore, we studied the biosynthetic pathway of the E1 inhibitor, himeic acid A, which was isolated from the fungus Aspergillus sp. isolated from the mussel by us.
