title: EI-1507-1 and -2, novel interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme inhibitors produced by Streptomyces sp. E-1507.
abstract: EI-1507-1 and -2, novel interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme (ICE) inhibitors, were isolated from the culture broths of Streptomyces sp. E-1507. EI-1507-1 and EI-1507-2 selectively inhibited the recombinant human ICE activity with IC50 values of 0.23 and 0.42 microM, respectively. EI-1507-1 and EI-1507-2 also inhibited mature interleukin-1 beta secretion from THP-1 cells with IC50 values of 1.1 and 1.4 microM, respectively.
