Sorbic acid is a natural product that inhibits various bacteria, including sporeformers,

Ajoene is a disulfide that has been found inA. sativumand has diverse biological activities, including antibacterial, anticancer, antiplatelet, and antioxidant properties.1,2,3,4It is active against Gram-positive (MICs = 5-160 µg/ml) and Gram-negative bacteria (MICs = 136-200 µg/ml), as well as yeasts (MICs = 10-20 µg/ml).1Ajoene is cytotoxic to mouse melanoma cells (IC50= 18 µM), as well as human colon, lung, mammary, and pancreatic cancer cells (IC50s = 7-41 µM).2It reduces tumor growth in a B16/BL6 mouse model of melanoma when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg every other day and decreases the number of lung metastases when administered prior to tumor cell inoculation at doses ranging from 1-25 mg/kg. It inhibits ADP- or collagen-induced platelet aggregation in isolated baboon platelets when used at concentrations ranging from 75 to 150 µg/ml and in platelet-rich plasma isolated from baboons when administered at a dose of 25 mg/kg.3Ajoene (25 mg/kg) prevents thrombus formation on damaged arterial walls in heparinized pigs in anin situmodel of thrombogenesis.5It also reduces high-fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis, histopathological markers of liver damage, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) formation, and protein oxidation in a mouse model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).4 1.Naganawa, R., Iwata, N., Ishikawa, K., et al.Inhibition of microbial growth by ajoene, a sulfur-containing compound derived from garlicAppl.

Quinolactactin A is a quinolone fungal metabolite originally isolated from Penicillium. It inhibits TNF production induced by LPS in murine peritoneal macrophages (IC50 = 12.2 μg/ml). It is not active against a variety of bacteria, fungi, and yeasts. Quinolactacin A is a mixture of quinolactacin A1 and A2.

Enfumafungin, a triterpene glycoside extracted from Hormonema carpetanum fungus, acts as an antifungal by inhibiting (1,3)-beta-D-glucan synthase, crucial for fungal cell wall synthesis. It selectively targets yeasts and fungi, excluding Cryptococcus, without affecting Bacillus subtilis growth [1] [2].

Isodictamnine is phototoxic to certain bacteria and yeasts in long wave UV light.

3-beta-O-(trans-p-Coumaroyl)maslinic acid is a DNA polymerase B inhibitor. It shows antimicrobial activity on Gram-positive bacteria and yeasts.

3-beta-O-(trans-p-Coumaroyl)maslinic acid shows antimicrobial activity on Gram-positive bacteria and yeasts.

Concanamycin C, a natural macrolide antibiotic, was initially isolated from Streptomyces and identified as an inhibitor of T-cell proliferation in response to concanavalin A (1,2). It exhibits cytotoxicity to fungi, including yeasts, by inhibiting vacuolar-type ATPases (3,4).

Saptomycin D, an antibiotic (antibiotic) isolated from the Streptomyces sp. HP530 strain, exhibits potent antitumor activity. It demonstrates strong inhibitory effects on Gram-positive bacteria and weaker inhibition against certain Gram-negative bacteria and yeasts. Additionally, Saptomycin D shows significant antitumor properties that make it a candidate for research in cancer therapy.

Stigmatellin is an antibiotic derived from the cell mass of the myxobacterium, effective against yeasts (yeasts), filamentous fungi (filamentous fungi), and several Gram-positive bacteria (Gram-positive bacteria). Additionally, it serves as a potent inhibitor of photosynthetic electron (photosynthetic electron) transfer. Stigmatellin utilizes various sugars, polysaccharides, and acids from the citric acid cycle as substrates, inhibiting RNA and protein synthesis. It has two different inhibitory sites: one located on the reducing side of photosystem II and the other at the cytochrome b6 f complex. Stigmatellin holds potential for use in antimicrobial and photosynthesis research.
