Ribosome-inactivating Proteins (RIPs) are a group of cytotoxin proteins that usually contain a RNA N-glycosidase domain, which irreversibly inactivates ribosome, thus inhibiting protein synthesis. During the past 14 years (1990-2004), the studies conducted in our laboratory had been focusing on the

Five new metabolites, (+)-(5 S,10 S)-4'-hydroxymethylcyclozonarone ( 1), 3-ketotauranin ( 3), 3alpha-hydroxytauranin ( 4), 12-hydroxytauranin ( 5), and phyllospinarone ( 6), together with tauranin ( 2), were isolated from Phyllosticta spinarum, a fungal strain endophytic in Platycladus orientalis.

The inhibitory effect of 15-methoxypinusolidic acid (15-MPA) isolated from Biota orientalis (Cupressaceae) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in microglial BV2 cells was investigated. 15-MPA significantly reduced the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), the activity of
