Isolation and Structural Analysis of MB4-03, an $\alpha$-Amylase Inhibitor Produced by Streptomyces sp. DMCJ-49

Streptomyces sp. DMCJ-49 균주가 생산하는 Alpha-Amylase 저해제 MB4-03의 분리와 구조분석

MB4-03, an $\alpha$-amylase inhibitor was isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. DMCJ-49 and purified through ion-exchange chromatography, adsorption, and gel filtration. The results of various instrumental analyses showed that the inhibitor was one of oligosaccharides that had glucoses as its major component and that its molecular weight was about 2000. And one methyl group which seemed to be related with the inhibitory activity of this compound was identified. From the CMR spectrum, it was elucidated that this compound was composed of $\alpha$ -D-glucopyranoses which were linked together by $\alpha$ (I -, 4) bond configuration. As the inhibitory effect of this compound was reduced after incubation with $\beta$-amylase, the maltose units was seemed to exist at non-reducing terminal side of it.

Streptomyces sp. DMCJ-49 균주의 배양액으로부터 분리된 $\alpha$-amylase 저해물질 MB4-03은 구조상 질소원자와 methyl기를 포함하는 일종의 직선형 Alpha(1-4) 결합으로 연결된 glucose의 변형된 oligomer 형태로서 구성 단당류는 12 정도로 추정된다.
