NG-011 and NG-012, novel potentiators of nerve growth factor. I. Taxonomy, isolation, and physico-chemical and biological properties.

Abstract

NG-011 and NG-012, novel potentiators of nerve growth factor (NGF), were isolated from the culture broth of Penicillium verruculosum F-4542, together with 3,4-dihydro-6,8-dihydroxy-3-methylisocoumarin. They potentiated the neurite outgrowth induced by NGF in rat pheochromocytoma cell line (PC12).
