Application note
- Actinobolin inhibited protein synthesis in Escherichia coli, which the inhibitory mechanism was different of other inhibitors such as Chloramphenicol and Sparsomycin.2)
- Actinobolin inhibited synthesis of both DNA and protein in mouse Adenocarcinoma 755 cells, both in vivo and in cell culture. It was suggested that the compound could compete aminoacyl-tRNA to inhibit protein synthesis.3)
- Actinobolin expressed inhibitory activity to bacteria associated with periodontal diseases such as Bacteroides melaninogenicus, Fusobacterium fusiforme, Leptotrichia buccalis, and Veillonella parvula.5)
- This compound expressed immunosuppressing activity to experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG).6)
- As shown at the table below, the compound had inhibitory activity to protein synthesis in E. coli and mammalian cells.4)
