actinonin

Actinonin ((-)-Actinonin) is a naturally occurring antibacterial agent produced by Actinomyces and a potent reversible peptide deformylase (PDF) inhibitor with a Ki of 0.28 nM. It also induces apoptosis and inhibits aminopeptidase M, aminopeptidase N, and leucine aminopeptidase, as well as MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-8, MMP-9, and meprin α with Ki values of 300 nM, 1,700 nM, 190 nM, 330 nM, and 20 nM, respectively. Actinonin exhibits antiproliferative and antitumor activities [1][2][3][4][5].
