title: Synthesis of NG-061 and its analogs, and their biological evaluation as an enhancer of nerve growth factor.
abstract: A novel potentiator of nerve growth factor (NGF), NG-061, which had been isolated from the fermentation broth of Penicillium minioluteum F-4627, was synthesized from methoxybenzoquinone and phenylacetylhydrazine in a single step. A series of acyl hydrazone derivatives were also synthesized and their potentiator activity of neurotrophic effect of NGF on neurite outgrowth was evaluated by assay with a rat pheochromocytoma cell line PC12.
