Description
Staurosporine was originally isolated from a culture broth of Saccharothrix aerocolonigenes subsp. staurosporeus AM-2282 while screening for microbial alkaloids. Staurosporine was discovered to have biological activities ranging from anti-fungal to anti-hypertensive1). The structure and absolute configuration of staurosporine was elucidated by X-ray crystallographic analysis 2–4). The first total synthesis was reported by Danishefsky et al5). Furthermore, Sturosporine was found to inhibit protein kinase C, IC50 =2.7 nM (rat brain)6) . Staurosporine was also found to be a potent relaxant of rabbit aortic strips contracted by various agonists7) . Staurosporine exerts it's biological effect by interacting, or binding, with a biological target such as a kinase through the prevention of ATP binding to the kinase. This is achieved through the stronger affinity of staurosporine to the ATP-binding site on the kinase. This image was obtained by crystallisation of the kinase with staurosporine followed by x-ray diffraction8) .
Staurosporine analogues, 7-Hydroxy-Staurosporine(UCN01) and N-Benzyl-Staurosporine(CGP 41251) are currently under clinical investigation as potential anticancer drugs9) .
