抗霉素A结构改造的研究进展

Research Progress in Structural Modification of Antimycin A

抗霉素A(Antimycin A)是一类具有大环双内酯结构的天然产物,是典型的线粒体呼吸链细胞色素bc_1复合物Q_i位点抑制剂.鉴于该类化合物的独特结构与超高活性,越来越多的科研工作者对其展开了系统深入的研究.本文主要总结了Antimycin A的发现、生物活性研究,及近年来科研工作者对其进行结构改造所取得的成果.

Antimycin A is a class of natural products bearing a dilactone-ring moiety as the core skeleton. These compounds have been identified as specific inhibitors of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and bind to the Q_i site of the cytochrome bc_1 complex. Due to its unique structure and extremly high activity, it has aroused great interest of researchers. The development and biological activities of antimycin A are mainly described, and the recent results of its structural modifications are summarized.
