Kanosamine hydrochloride is an antibiotic which inhibits the growth of plant-pathogenic oomycetes, certain fungi and a few bacterial species. Kanosamine inhibits Phytophthora medicaginis M2913 and Aphanomyces euteiches WI-98 with MICs of 25 and 60 μg mL, respectively.
Gliovirin is a fungal metabolite that has been found inT. harzianumand has fungicidal, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities.1It is active against the plant pathogenic fungusP. ultimum(MIC = 60 ng/ml) and the parasiteT. brucei brucei(IC50= 90 ng/ml), but has no effect on the plant pathogenic fungiR. solani,P. omnivorum,T. basicola,R. arrhizus, andV. dahliaeor the bacteriaB. thuringiensis,P. fluorescens, andX. malvacearumwhen used at concentrations up to 1,000 ng/ml.2,3Gliovirin decreases phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA)- and ionomycin-induced increased expression of COX-2 (IC50= 1 μM) and protein levels of IL-2 in Jurkat cells (IC50= 5.2 μM).1 1.Rether, J., Serwe, A., Anke, T., et al.Inhibition of inducible tumor necrosis factor-α expression by the fungal epipolythiodiketopiperazine gliovirinBiol.

Bottromycin A2is an antibiotic originally isolated fromStreptomyces.1It blocks the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the A site of the 50S ribosome, inhibiting protein synthesis.2Bottromycin A2is active against clinical isolates of methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) and vancomycin-resistantEnterococciwith MIC values of 1 and 0.5 μg ml, respectively. 1.Nakamura, S., Yajima, T., Lin, Y., et al.Isolation and characterization of bottromycins A2, B2, C2J.

Aspergillin PZ is a fungal metabolite originally isolated from A. awamori. It induces morphological deformation of P. oryzae conidia when used at a concentration of 89 nM. Aspergillin PZ is active against S. epidermidis (MIC = 20 μM) but not S. aureus, E. coli, or B. cereus (MICs = >20 μM). It is cytotoxic to HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells (IC50 = 56.61 μM) but not THP-1 acute monocytic leukemia or PC3 prostate cancer cells (IC50s = >80 μM).
Antibacterial agent 60 is a potent compound that effectively reduces the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Ceftazidime, an antibacterial agent.
Cycloshizukaol A prevents monocyte adhesion to HUVEC through the inhibition of cell adhesion molecules expression stimulated by TNF-alpha, it inhibits PMA-induced homotypic aggregation of HL-60 cells without cytotoxicity with MIC values of 0.9 microM.
