K-252a is a staurosporine analog isolated from Nocardiopsis sp. soil fungi. K-252a inhibits protein kinase (IC50: 470 nM, 140 nM, 270 nM, and 1.7 nM for PKC, PKA, Ca2+ calmodulin-dependent kinase type II, and phosphorylase kinase, respectively).
Dactimicin is a novel pseudodisaccharide aminoglycoside. It has activities in vitro and in vivo antibacterial. Dactimicin was more resistant than astromicin to inactivation by aminoglycoside 3-acetyltransferase.
BMS-378806 is a novel attachment inhibitor of HIV (EC50: 2.68±1.64nM, 26.5±3.5nM, 2.94±2.01nM,15.5±6.8nM, 3.46±0.81nM, 1.47±0.63nM and 0.85±0.13nM for LAI(T), SF-2(T),NL4-3(T), Bal(M), SF-162(M), JRFL(M) and TLAV(dual), respectively).
(5E)-7-Oxozeaenol is a resorcylic acid lactone that has been found in the fungus MSX 63935 and has enzyme inhibitory and anticancer activities.1,2 It inhibits TGF-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK-1; IC50 = 1.3 μM).1 (5E)-7-Oxozeaenol inhibits proliferation of MCF-7, H460, SF-268, HT-29, and MDA-MB-435 human cancer cells with IC50 values of 4.9, 1.2, 5.6, 4.4, and 5.5 μM, respectively.2 |1.

Malformin A is a cyclopentapeptide fungal metabolite that has been found in A. niger and has diverse biological activities. It is a plant growth regulator that induces malformations in plant structure. Malformin A inhibits replication of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in local lesion and leaf-disc assays (IC50s = 19.7 and 45.4 μg/ml, respectively). It is cytotoxic to NCI-H460, MIA PaCa-2, MCF-7, SF-268, and WI-38 cancer cells (IC50s = 70, 50, 100, 70, and 100 nM, respectively), inhibits proliferation of PC3 and LNCaP cells (IC50s = 130 and 90 nM, respectively), and induces apoptosis and necrosis in PC3 and LNCaP cells. Malformin A also increases the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, decreases the mitochondrial membrane potential, and induces autophagy in PC3 and LNCaP cells. It is toxic to mice when administered intraperitoneally (LD50 = 3.1 mg/kg) but not orally up to doses of 50 mg/kg.
Aquastatin A is a fungal metabolite originally isolated fromF. aquaeductuumthat has diverse biological activities.1It is active againstS. aureus(MIC = 32 μg/ml) and inhibits enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (Fabl; IC50= 3.2 μM) andS. aureusfatty acid synthesis (IC50= 3.5 μM).2Aquastatin A also inhibits the Na+/K+-ATPase and H+/K+-ATPase (IC50s = 7.1 and 6.2 μM, respectively), as well as protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B; IC50= 0.19 μM).1,3 1.Hamano, K., Kinoshita-Okami, M., Minagawa, K., et al.Aquastatin A, an inhibitor of mammalian adenosine triphosphatases from Fusarium aquaeductuum.

SS-RJW100 is an enantiomer of RJW100, known as a racemic agonist that targets two nuclear receptors: liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1) and steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1). In vitro experiments reveal that SS-RJW100 promotes the recruitment of coregulator protein fragments and enhances the interaction with the transcriptional intermediary factor 2 (Tif2) coactivator specifically for LRH-1. Additionally, SS-RJW100 disrupts the allosteric activation networks of LRH-1, displaying suboptimal thermal stability [1] [2].
