M. Kuramoto et al., TANZAWAIC ACID-A, ACID-B, ACID-C, AND ACID-D - INHIBITORS OF SUPEROXIDE ANION PRODUCTION FROM PENICILLIUM-CITRINUM, Chemistry Letters, (9), 1997, pp. 885-886
Tanzawaic acids have been isolated from Penicillium citrinum and their
structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. Their relative
stereochemistries were also clarified by detailed analyses of H-1-H-1
coupling constants and NOE data. Tanzawaic acid B (GS-1302-1) signific
antly inhibits superoxide anion production in human neutrophils.
