P. Cai et al., 8-methyl-pyridoxatin: A novel N-hydroxy pyridone from fungus OS-F61800 that induces erythropoietin in human cells, J NAT PROD, 62(2), 1999, pp. 397-399
In the course of screening for small-molecule modulators of erythropoietin
gene expression, a novel N-hydroxy pyridone was isolated from a culture of
OS-F61800. Its structure was elucidated by extensive H-1 and C-13 NMR spect
roscopic and chemical studies. This compound induced erythropoietin gene ex
pression fivefold at a concentration of 0.3 mu M, which is about threefold
greater potency than our previously identified erythropoietin inducers.
