title: JBIR-26, a novel natural compound from Streptomyces sp. AK-AH76, regulates mammalian circadian clock.
abstract: In the course of our screening program for regulators of circadian clock system (circadian rhythms), we isolated a new natural compound JBIR-26 (1) from Streptomyces sp. AK-AH76. The structure was determined to be 2-hydroxy-3,6-dimethylbenzoic acid on the basis of spectroscopic data. Compound 1 lengthened the period-length of mammalian clocks for 1.5 hours at a concentration of 10 microg/ml.
