title: PS-990, a novel neuritogenic compound from Acremonium sp.
abstract: A novel compound, PS-990, which induces differentiation of neuroblastoma cells, was isolated from the culture broth of a fungus, Acremonium sp. KY12702. PS-990 inhibited brain calcium calmodulin-dependent cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase with an IC50 value of 3 micrograms/ml, and markedly induced neurite extension of mouse neuroblastoma, Neuro2A, at concentrations ranging from 10 to 30 micrograms ml.
