Effects of a novel marine natural product: pyrano indolone alkaloid fibrinolytic compound on thrombolysis and hemorrhagic activities in vitro and in vivo.

Fungi fibrinolytic compound 1 (FGFC1) is a novel marine natural product as a low-weight fibrinolytic pyranoindole molecule, whose thrombolytic effects were evaluated on FITC-fibrin (Fluorescein isothiocyanate, FITC) degradation methods in vitro and on acute pulmonary thromboembolism animal model in vivo. We determined the FGFC1 induced thrombolysis that stems from its fibrin(ogen)olytic activities as measured by fibrin(ogen) degradation products (FDPs) experiment, acute pulmonary thromboembolism animal model experiment, and euglobulin lysis assay. In vitro, measurement of FITC-fibrin degradation revealed that fibrin hydrolysis occurred in a concentration-dependent manner of FGFC1 from 5 to 25 μ mol/L.

Pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of a novel marine fibrinolytic compound in Wistar rat following intravenous administrations.

We investigated a novel marine fibrinolytic compound for use in thrombolytic therapy. Pharmacokinetics and the tissue distribution of this novel marine fibrinolytic compound, FGFC1(2) (fungi fibrinolytic compound 1), were investigated in Wistar rats after intravenous (IV) bolus administration of two concentrations (10 and 20mg/kg). Plasma FGFC1 and tissue extracts were measured using HPLC with UV detection.

[Response surface methodology to optimize marine microbe culture for producing fungi fibrinolytic compound].

Response surface methodology was applied to optimize the fermentation conditions of FGFC1 (Fungi fibrinolytic compound 1). On the basis of single factor tests, response surface analysis was designed by Design-Expert, and the effects of culture time, ornithine hydrochloride addition and culture temperature on the yield of FGFC1 were studied, the predicted value and measured value were also contrasted. The results show the optimal culture conditions as follows: the culture time is 7 d, ornithine hydrochloride addition is 0.
