Erythromycin thiocyanate acts by binding to bacterial 50S ribosomal subunits and inhibits RNA-dependent protein synthesis by blockage of transpeptidation and or translocation reactions, without affecting synthesis of nucleic acid .Erythromycin thiocyanate
K-252b is an indolocarbazole isolated from the actinomycete Nocardiopsis and is a PKC inhibitor. K-252b can be used to inhibit extracellular kinases of cells in culture because it can’t pass through the cell membrane freely.
Drimentine A is a terpenylated diketopiperazine antibiotic originally isolated from Actinomycete bacteria. It is active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and yeast and has anthelmintic properties.
Drimentine B is a terpenylated diketopiperazine antibiotic originally isolated from Actinomycete bacteria. It is active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and yeast, and has anthelmintic properties. Drimentine B inhibits proliferation of NS-1 murine β lymphocyte myeloma cells by 41 and 59% in vitro when used at concentrations of 50 and 100 μg ml, respectively.
IKD-8344 is a macrocyclic dilactone originally isolated from an actinomycete species and has diverse biological activities, including anticancer, antimicrobial, and anthelmintic properties.1,2,3 It is cytotoxic to L5178Y murine leukemia cells (IC50 = 0.54 ng ml).1 IKD-8344 inhibits growth of the mycelial form of C. albicans (MIC = 6.25 μg ml) and potentiates the activity of polymyxin B against the multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacterium B. cenocepacia.2,3 It is active against T. spiralis in vitro and in vivo.1 |1.

Kibdelone C is a member of a family of natural heterocyclic polyketides first isolated from a soil actinomycete, Kibdelosporangium. Kibdelones have been described as having potent and selective cytotoxicity against a panel of human tumor cell lines, and kibdelone C has low nanomolar effectiveness in these assays. Kibdelone C disrupts the actin cytoskeleton without directly binding actin or affecting its polymerization in vitro.
Resistoflavine is a metabolite of the marine actinomycete S. chibaensis. It slows the growth of and is cytotoxic to HMO2 and HepG2 cells with mean lethal concentrations (LC50) of 0.013 and 0.016 μg ml, respectively.
