Cyclic Lipopeptide with antifungal and antitumor activities Iturin A-2 [CAS: 83785-07-3]
Date:June 13 2025Web Page No:520085
The bacteria in the genus Bacillus used in biological control of plant disease have been reported producing cyclic lipopeptides such as surfactin, plipastatins and iturins.1)
It was reported that inturin A was isolated from Bacillus subtilis and was as a cyclic lipopeptide mixture harboring antifungal activity in 1965.2)
This compound was reported to show the control of damping-off of tomato (a seedling disease)4) and antitumor activity to breast cancer cells.5)
As this product from Institute of Microbial Chemistry (Bikaken) contains few of other analogues, it is useful tools for pharmacological activity, and also for standards of HPLC and other qualitative assays.
Structure of Iturin A-2 (#15171)
Specification
CAS# | 83785-07-3 |
---|---|
Molecular Formula | C48H74N12O14 |
Molecular Weight | 1,043.190 |
Purity | >90% (HPLC) |
Solubility | Soluble in MeOH, DMSO, and DMF Insoluble in H2O |
Application Note
- Iturin A suppressed damping-off of tomato (a seeding disease) caused by Rhizoctonia solani.4)
- Iturin A-2 showed cytotoxicity to human breast cancer cell line BT-474 and some other cells, IC50: HeLa (77.50ug/ml), MCF-7 (66.81 ug/ml).5)
- Pharmacophore mapping studies suggested that the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as one of the potential targets of iturin A-2.6)
- Iturin A-2 and several lipopeptides showed better docking scores than remdesivir triphosphate with lower binding energies on the docking studies. This finding indicates that these lipopeptides may bind to SARS-CoV-2 nsp12 (RNA-dependent RNA polymerase) efficiently.7)
