Tokyo, Japan, Mar 8, 2006 - (JCN) - RIKEN announced on March 7 its
discovery that reveromycin A, a secondary metabolite of actinomycete,
plays a role in treating osteoporosis. The results of the coexposure to the actinomycete and
microbes/toxins were compared with the individual results of both the
microbe/ toxin and actinomycete exposures by using two-way ANOVA. Derived from a marine-obligate actinomycete, Nereus'
second compound, NPI-0052, is a highly potent second-generation
proteasome inhibitor for the treatment of multiple myeloma and
potentially solid tumors. |
