Filipin II is a polyene and an active component of the polyene antibiotic filipin complex . [1] It has broad-spectrum antifungal activity, reducing growth of various fungi, including B. dermatitidis, C. neoformans, and H. capsulatum (MICs = 1-10 μg/ml). Filipin II inhibits ADP-stimulated respiration in rat liver mitochondria when used at a concentration of 3.5 mg/ml. [2] It also induces hemolysis of liposomes in a cholesterol-independent manner (IC50 = 0.5 μg/ml).[3]
PX-316 is a AKT inhibior. PX-316, when administered intraperitoneally to mice at 150 mg kg, inhibits Akt activation in HT-29 human tumor xenografts up to 78% at 10 h with recovery to 34% at 48 h. PX-316 has antitumor activity against early human MCF-7 breast cancer and HT-29 colon cancer xenografts in mice. PX-316 formulated in 20% hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin for intravenous administration is well tolerated in mice and rats with no hemolysis and no hematological toxicity. Thus, PX-316 is the lead compound of a new class of potential agents that inhibit Akt survival signaling.
Pyridoxatin is a fungal metabolite that inhibits production of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS). Pyridoxatin inhibits hemolysis induced by the free radical generator AAPH and is active against C. albicans.
