19,20-Epoxycytochalasin D is a fungal metabolite that has been found in the endophytic fungus Nemania sp. UM10M. It is active against the chloroquine-sensitive and -resistant strains of P. falciparum (MIC = 0.4 ng ml for both) without inducing cytotoxicity in Vero cells. It is cytotoxic to BT-549, LLC-PK11, and P388 cells (IC50s = 7.84, 8.4, and 0.16 µM, respectively) but not SK-MEL, KB, or SKOV3 cells up to a concentration of 10 µM.
Nocardamine is a ferrioxamine siderophore that has been found inStreptomycesand has diverse biological activities.1,2,3,4It chelates iron in a chrome azurol S assay (IC50= 9.9 μM).1Nocardamine inhibitsM. smegmatisandM. bovisbiofilm formation (MIC = 10 μM for both), an effect that can be reversed by iron.2It is cytotoxic to T47D, SK-MEL-5, SK-MEL-28, and RPMI-7951 cancer cells (IC50s = 6, 18, 12, and 14 μM, respectively).3Nocardamine also induces morphological changes in BM-N4 insect cells.4 1.Lopez, J.A.V., Nogawa, T., Futamura, Y., et al.Nocardamin glucuronide, a new member of the ferrioxamine siderophores isolated from the ascamycin-producing strain Streptomyces sp. 80H647J.
