Nucleoticidin and melanocidins A and B exhibited potent inhibitory activity against 5'-nucleotidases from rat liver membrane and snake venom. Nucleoticidin retarded growth of Sarcoma 180 solid tumor, and melanocidins A and B prolonged the survival period of mice bearing B16 melanoma. These inhibitors enhanced phagocytic activity, interleukin-1 production and superoxide-generating activity of murine peritoneal macrophages. The tumor necrosis factor was also induced by the inhibitors. These results suggested that 5'-nucleotidase inhibitors inhibit tumor growth by modification of the immune system.

A new 5'-nucleotidase inhibitor named nucleoticidin was produced by Pseudomonas sp. YM-3229G. It was isolated from a fermentation broth by trichloroacetic acid extraction, ethanol precipitation and Dowex 1 and DEAE-52 column chromatography. It inhibited 5'-nucleotidase activity of snake venom and rat liver membrane. It also showed antitumor activity against solid type Sarcoma 180.
