Application Note

  • The inhibition of benastatin B against GST is competitive with 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene (Ki:3.7×10-6 M), and noncompetitive with glutathione (Ki:4.2×10-6 M).
  • Benastatin B has activity against Gram-positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).1)
  • It was more potent than benastatin A against Micrococcus luteus (MIC=3.9 μM).3)
  • In rat basophilic leukemia-derived RBL-2H3 cells, which is an evaluation model for inhibition of immediate-type allergic hypersensitivity reactions, benastatin B inhibited IgE-stimulated β-hexosaminidase release more strongly than benastatin A (IC50=19 μM).3)

* Biological activity of the product was not verified. The values shown above were cited from the references.
