Differential Trypanocidal Activity of Novel Macrolide Antibiotics; Correlation to Genetic Lineage
Here we report the systematic study of the anti-trypanocidal activity of some new products derived from S. diastatus on 14 different T. cruzi strains spanning the six genetic lineages of T. cruzi. As the traditional growth inhibition curves giving similar IC(50) showed great differences on antibiotic and lineage tested, we decided to preserve the wealth of information derived from each inhibiti...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory activity of macrolide antibiotics.
The effect of four macrolide antibiotics (roxithromycin, clarithromycin, erythromycin, and azithromycin) on the generation of some mediators and cytokines involved in the inflammatory process has been studied both in vivo and in vitro. Rat carrageenin pleurisy was used as a model of acute inflammation, and the macrolides were administered (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg p.o.) 1 h before the carrageenin c...
متن کاملTrypanocidal activity of antitumor antibiotics and other metabolic inhibitors.
A microtest has been devised for the rapid preliminary assay in vitro of the effect of over 100 drugs and inhibitors on African trypanosomes (Trypanosoma brucei and T. rhodesiense). Parasite motility and infectivity for mice are indexes, respectively, of respiration and glycolysis and of cell division; trypanocidal titers based on these indexes can show primary metabolic areas of drug attack. V...
متن کاملPotentiation of antiviral activity of acyclovir by polyene macrolide antibiotics.
The potentiation of the antiviral activity of acyclovir [9-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]guanine] by polyene macrolide antibiotics has been studied as a function of the macrolide structure. The 12 polyenes chosen for this study represented the major structural groups of these antibiotics and induced in mammalian cells repairable membrane alterations or irreversible cell damage. The potentiating acti...
متن کاملTiacumicins, a novel complex of 18-membered macrolide antibiotics. I. Taxonomy, fermentation and antibacterial activity.
A complex of 18-membered macrolide antibiotics has been discovered in the fermentation broth of strain AB718C-41. The producing culture, isolated from a soil sample collected in Hamden, Connecticut, was identified as a strain of Dactylosporangium aurantiacum and was designated D. aurantiacum subsp. hamdenesis subsp. nov. The antibiotic complex was produced in a New Brunswick 150-liter fermentor...
