marcfortine A Usage And Synthesis

Description

Marcfortine A is an indole alkaloid originally isolated from P. roqueforti. It has nematocidal activity against the parasitic nematode H. contortus (LD₉₉ = 0.06 μg/ml) and inhibits motility of adult worms (EC₅₀ = 2 μM)., Marcfortine A eliminates H. contortus, T. colubriformis, and O. ostertagi from experimentally infected jirds (ED₉₅s = 0.33, 0.11, and 2.5 mg/animal, respectively). It dose-dependently inhibits nicotine-induced calcium mobilization in SH-SY5Y and TE-671 cells expressing α₃ subunit-containing human nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and muscle-type nAChRs, respectively.

Uses

Marcfortine A is an indole alkaloid, isolated from Aspergillus and Pencillium species, with potent nematocidal activity. The marcfortines are structurally related to paraherquamides and are thought to act by blocking cholinergic neuromuscular transmission.

Uses

Marcfortine A is an indole alkaloid isolated from Aspergillus and Pencillium species.
