Title: Marine natural products as inhibitors of cystathionine beta-synthase activity.

Authors: Thorson MK, Van Wagoner RM, Harper MK, Ireland CM, Majtan T, Kraus JP, Barrios AM.

Abstract: A library consisting of characterized marine natural products as well as synthetic derivatives was screened for compounds capable of inhibiting the production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) by cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS). Eight hits were validated and shown to inhibit CBS activity with IC50 values ranging from 83 to 187μM. The majority of hits came from a series of synthetic polyandrocarpamine derivatives. In addition, a modified fluorogenic probe for H2S detection with improved solubility in aqueous solutions is reported.
