Popis: A novel endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE) inhibitor, B-90063, was isolated from the culture supernatant of the newly discovered marine bacterium Blastobacter sp. SANK 71894. Based on spectral analyses and chemical reactions, the structure of B-90063 was determined to be bis[6-formyl-4-hydroxy-2-(2'-n-pentyloxazol-4'-yl)-4-pyridon -3-yl]-disulfide (1a). Human and rat ECEs were inhibited more potently by B-90063, with respective IC50 values of 1.0 and 3.2 microM, than were other neutral endopeptidases such as NEP and type-I and -IV collagenases. B-90063 also inhibited the binding of ET-1 to rat ET(A) and bovine ET(B) receptors, though its antagonistic activities were weak. B-90063, thus, may abolish the physiological actions of endothelins through the ECE inhibitory and receptor antagonistic mechanisms.
