Abstract
A new semaphorin inhibitor xanthofulvin was isolated from the cultured broth of a fungus Penicillium sp. SPF-3059 along with a known compound vinaxanthone by solvent extraction and bioassay-guided fractionation. The tautomeric structure of xanthofulvin was determined by spectroscopic analyses. The two compounds exhibited significant semaphorin inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 0.09 and 0.1 microg/ml, respectively, in semaphorin3A-induced growth cone collapse assay using cultured chick dorsal root ganglia neurons.Entities:
