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).
Streptazolin is a fungal metabolite originally isolated from S. viridochromogenes. It increases NF-κB activity when used at concentrations ranging from 60 to 130 μg/ml, at least in part, via PI3K signaling. Streptazolin enhances TNF-α secretion induced by LPS and enhances IL-8 secretion when used alone or in combination with LPS in THP-1 Blue cells.
Viscidulin II can be potential therapeutic agents against P. acnes-induced skin inflammation, it can significantly suppress P. acnes-induced IL-8 and IL-1β production in THP-1 cells, concomitant intradermal injection of viscidulin II with P. acnes can effectively attenuate P. acnes-induced ear swelling, and decrease the production of IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α in ear homogenates.
Euphohelioscopin A, an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), it inhibits proliferation and induces differentiation of the myeloid leukemia cell lines THP-1 and HL-60. Euphohelioscopin A has anti-inflammary activity, it exhibits moderate inhibitory activity
