| Abstract | The substance 0116p, which exhibits cytotoxicity against human macrophage cell line THP-1, was isolated from a mycelial extract of Streptomyces scabiei subsp. chosunensis M0137. The cytotoxic substance was purified by Diaion-HP20 adsorption, solvent extraction, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and silica-gel column chromatography. The molecular formula is C_19 H_38 O_2 (MW 301.10) based on elemental and spectrometric analysis. It was identified as nonadecanoic acid by NMR spectral data. It exhibits cytotoxic activities in various human cancer cell lines, including A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2 and HCT-15. In addition, 0116p also inhibits IL-12 production in lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophages. |
