Fostriecin
Chemical Name: (6R)-5,6-Dihydro-6-[(1E,3R,4R,6R,7Z,9Z,11E)-3,6,13-trih ydroxy-3-methyl-4-(phosphonooxy)-1,7,9,11-tridecatetrae nyl]-2H-pyran-2-one sodium salt

Biological Activity:

Originally identified as an anti-tumour antibiotic from Streptomyces pulveraceous. Displays potent inhibition of protein phosphatase types 2A (PP2A) and 4 (PP4) with IC50 values of 1.5 nM and 3 nM respectively. Also exhibits weaker inhibition of topoisomerase II (IC50 = 40 μM) and protein phosphatase type 1 (PP1) (IC50 = 131 μM) with no apparent inhibition of protein phosphatase type 2B (PP2B). Active in vivo.
