| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Kurahyne is a marine natural product that exhibits osteoclast differentiation-inhibitory activity and sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA)-inhibitory activity. In this study, I have investigated the detailed mechanisms of these activities.
As a result, we have found the following things;
(1) Prohibitin-1 and -2 can play an important role in the osteoclast differentiation-inhibitory activity of kurahyne; (2) Specific fourteen amino-acid residues in SERCA are identified as a possible kurahyne-binding site; (3) Two kurahyne-related marine natural products were isolated, and the structure determination and the total synthesis of them were achieved. Furthermore, some knowledge regarding a structure-activity relationship was obtained.
