During our screening program of natural products from fungal metabolites for drugs effective against tumor cell lines, we discovered a new isopatulin derivative, pintulin, from the fermentation broth of Penicillium vulpinum F-4148. Pintulin shows weak activity against tumor cell lines, compared to that of adriamycin.

Antitumor activity of patulin and structural analogs.

Pharmazie

April 1992

Laboratoire de Botanique, Cryptogamie, Biologie Cellulaire and Génétique, Université J. Fourier, Grenoble I, France.

A comparison between the cytotoxicity and the antitumor activity of patulin and five structural analogs (isopatulin, dehydroisopatulin, dimethylisopatulin, trimethylisopatulin and isopropylisopatulin) has been established. In vitro assays using L 1210 and P 388 cells showed that the structure of the pyranic ring as well as the nature of the substituents influenced the observed activities. Among the five structural analogs of patulin assayed in vivo against Ehrlich carcinoma, L 1210 and P 388 leukemias, dehydroisopatulin was the only one to be active on all 3 types of tumors at a dose of 100 mg.
