Match the following list of bioactive substances and their roles:

Bioactive	Bioactive Substance Role
A. Statin	i. Removal of oil stains
B. Cyclosporin A	ii. Removal of clots from blood vessels
C. Streptokinase	iii. Lowering of blood cholesterol
D. Lipase	iv. Immuno-suppressive agent

The correct option is A A-iii, B-iv, C-ii, D-i
StatinLowering of blood cholesterol:

Statins are produced by the yeast, Monascus purpureus. It is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme that catalyses the biosynthesis of cholesterol, thus helping in lowering blood cholesterol levels.


Cyclosporin AImmunosuppressive agent:

Cyclosporin A, produced by the fungus Trichoderma polysporum, is used as an immunosuppressant during organ transplants.


StreptokinaseRemoval of clots from blood vessels:

Streptokinase produced by the bacterium Streptococcus is known as a clot buster as it removes clots in blood vessels of patients. Those suffering from myocardial infarction get relieved due to the administration of streptokinase.



LipaseRemoval of oil stains:

Lipases are enzymes that digest lipids. Therefore, these are a component of detergents as they help to remove oil stains.

A. Statin	iii. Lowering of blood cholesterol
B. Cyclosporin A	iv. Immuno-suppressive agent
C. Streptokinase	ii. Removal of clots from blood vessels
D. Lipase	i. Removal of oil stains

Final answer d. A-iii, B-iv, C-ii, D-i
