Abstract

WS009 A and B novel Endothelin Receptor antagonists, have been isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. No. 89009. These antagonists were purified from the culture filtrate followed by Diaion SP-207, DEAE Toyopearl column chromatography and HPLC. WS009 A and B showed selective activity in an Endothelin Receptor binding assay with IC50 of 5.8 x 10(-6) M and 6.7 x 10(-7) M, respectively. On the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence, the structures of WS009 A and B have been established as 1 and 3, and are highly hydroxylated benz[a]anthraquinone chromophores.
