antibacterial agent 30

Antibacterial agent 30 exhibits remarkable in vitro activity against Xoo, as evidenced by its EC50 value of 1.9 μg mL.

Bostrycin, an anthraquinone derived from B. alpestre, exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities including antibacterial, antiproliferative, and phytotoxic effects. This compound demonstrates efficacy against Gram-positive bacteria like methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), M. tuberculosis, and C. botulinum. Additionally, Bostrycin shows antiproliferative action against A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells, particularly by arresting the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase and triggering apoptosis within a concentration range of 10 to 30 µM. As a phytotoxin, it causes necrosis in water hyacinth leaves at approximately 7 µg/ml. Furthermore, Bostrycin serves as a protein immobilization cross-linking agent, managing to preserve its bacteriostatic properties when affixed to nonwoven polypropylene fabric.

Antibacterial agent 78 (compound 30) is an antibacterial agent with an improved cytotoxicity profile[1].
