Antifungal activity and significant efficacy against a Pneumocystis carinii infected mouse model Benanomicin A

Date:July 03 2020Web Page No:520046

Benanomicin A is isolated from the culture fluid of Actinomadura sp. MH193-16F4.1,2) It shows excellent activities against a wide range of fungi including Candida, Cryptococcus and Aspergillus.1,3) Also, benanomicin A demonstrated excellent therapeutic efficacy against in a Pneumocystis carinii-infected mouse model.4) Moreorver, benanomicin A prevented human T-cells from HIV-1 at 30-100 µg/mL and inhibited syncytium formation by HIV-1 at 10-100 µg/mL.5)
The antifungal and anti HIV-1 activities of benanomicins and their analogues have been studied.6) Benanomicin A has antimycotic activities via binding to mannan in the cell walls of fungi.7) In recent years, the lectin-like functionality of Benanomicin A has been utilized to conduct research on preparing the mannan cell walls.8,9)
