V-ATPase has recently emerged as a promising novel anticancer target based on extensive in vitro and in vivo studies with the archazolids, complex polyketide macrolides which present the most potent V-ATPase inhibitors known to date, rendering these macrolides important lead structures for the development of novel anticancer agents. The limited natural supply of these metabolites from their myx...

The quantification of antibiotics (ABs) in sediments is an analytical challenge, but at the same time, it indispensable to understand fate ABs aquatic systems such as rivers. aim this study was develop a comprehensive method determine 19 classified macrolides, sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, clindamycin and trimethoprim river sediments, using combination pressurized liquid extrac...

Macrolide antibiotics are well known for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This article provides an overview of the biological mechanisms through which macrolides exert this ‘double effect’. Their antibacterial effect consists of the inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis, impaired bacterial biofilm synthesis, and the attenuation of other bacterial virulence factors. Apar...
