The invention is aimed at discovering a new type of anti-cancer compound
which can exert an excellent inhibitory activity against the heparanase.
A fungal strain Acremonium sp. MT70646 (KCTC 8973P) was isolated from the
soil. From the culture of the isolated fungal strain, novel compounds
that can inhibit both heparinase and heparanase was purified. Therefore,
the present invention regards to provide a newly isolated fungal strain
Acremonium sp. MT70646 (KCTC 8973P), its new products, and pharmaceutical
agents such as a heparinase inhibitor, a heparanase inhibitor, a
metastasis inhibitor and an angeiogenesis inhibitor all of which contain
the above new compounds produced by the fungal strain as an active
ingredient.
