elaiophylin Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

Elaiophyllin is a highly characteristic metabolite produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus. Elaiophylin inhibits testosterone 5-reductase. Elaiophylin is synergistic with its co-metabolite, rapamycin, as an antifungal. Elaiophylin also has anthelminthic and immunosuppressive activity and inhibits NO synthesis. Elaiophylin displays broad, albeit weak, biological activity against bacteria, nematodes, protozoa and mammalian tumour cells.

Uses

Elaiophylin is a macrodiolide antibiotic that can be isolated from various strains of Streptomyces. It displays in vitro anti-protozoal activity against both Plasmodium and Trypanosoma (IC50s = 370 and 460 ng/ml, respectively) and cytotoxicity against human fetal lung fibroblast MRC-5 cells (IC50 = 870 ng/ml). Elaiophylin alone has no activity against Candida, although it enhances the anti-fungal activity of rapamycin . Elaiophylin also forms stable, long-lasting ion channels in bilayer membranes that are selective for cations.

Definition

ChEBI: A macrolide that is isolated from several bacteria including Streptomyces violaceoniger and other soil actinomycetes.
