| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Aureobasidin A (R-106; Basifungin), the lead compound, has potent activity in vitro against many clinically relevant fungi, including Candida spp. , Cryptococcus neoformans, Blastomyces dermatidis, Histoplasma capsulatum, and some Aspergillus species. In vivo, in a murine model of systemic candidiasis, the compound was well tolerated and more effective than AmB and fluconazole. Molecular studies of aureobasidin A-resistant mutants of S. cerevisiae have led to the discovery of the aureobasidin resistance (AUR1?) gene. It has been suggested that the gene product of the wild-type AUR1+ is the molecular target for aureobasidin A. AUR1+ can fully restore the activity of IPC synthase and sphingolipid synthesis, and that aureobasidin A does indeed function as a potent inhibitor of IPC synthase. The inhibition of this essential biosynthetic step leads to ceramide accumulation in growing cells and cell death. Cytological studies in S. cerevisiae after aureobasidin A exposure and after disruption of the AUR1+ gene suggest that the ultimate effect of the compound is the destruction of the cell membrane and the disturbance of intracellular microtubule organization[2].
| [Uses]
Antifungal. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A cyclodepsipeptide antibiotic, which is isolated from the filamentous fungus Aureobasidium pullulans R106 and is toxic to yeast at low concentrations (0.1-0.5 ug/ml). | [Biological Activity]
Aureobasidin A (AbA; Basifungin) is an antibiotic that inhibits the synthesis of the plant-type sphingolipid inositol phosphorylceramide (IPC). Basifungin treatment inhibited T. gondii replication irreversibly. More importantly, AbA treatment did not induce stage conversion to the bradyzoite form, emphasizing the parasitocidal effect of the compound. This was further confirmed by AbA-induced morphological alterations in the parasite cell shape and integrity, with prominent cell vacuolization. In addition, AbA affected total sphingolipid neosynthesis in T. gondii and, in particular, increased the relative level of ceramide, the direct precursor of IPC, without causing any modification in the sphingolipid profile of the host cell[1].
| [Clinical Use]
Aureobasidin A is a cyclic depsipeptide that is produced byfermentation in cultures of Aureobasidium pullulan.Aureobasidin A acts as a tight-binding noncompetitive inhibitorof the enzyme inositol phosphorylceramide synthase(IPC synthase), which is an essential enzyme for fungalsphingolipid biosynthesis. A unique structural feature of theaureobasidins is the N-methylation of four of seven amide nitrogenatoms. The lack of tautomerism dictated by N-methylationmay contribute to forming a stable solution conformerthat is shaped somewhat like an arrowhead, the presumed biologicallyactive conformation of aureobasidin-A.The pradimycins and benanomycins are naphthacenequinonesthat bind mannan in the presence of Ca2+ to disrupt the cell membrane in pathogenic fungi. Both demonstrate good in vitro and in vivo activity againstCandida spp. and C. neoformans clinical isolates. | [Synthesis]
The polyethylene glycol-modified basifenacin has a strong solubility ability, while the spatial site-blocking effect of macromolecules is produced due to the barrier formed by polyethylene glycol around basifenacin, which reduces the enzymatic degradat | [Enzyme inhibitor]
This cyclic depsipeptide antibiotic (FWAureosasidin-A = 1101.43; CAS 127785-
64-2) from Aureobasidium pullulans R106 is toxic (typically at 0.1-0.5
μg/mL) against Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharo-myces pombe,
Candida glabrata, Aspergillus nidulans, and A. niger. Aureobasdin A
inhibits inositolphosphoryl-ceramide synthase. Note that the antibiotic
contains N-methyl-L-valine, L-alloisoleucine, N-methyl-L-phenyl-alanine,
and N-methyl-3-hydroxy-L-valine. Target (s) : inositolphosphoryl-
ceramide synthase, or ceramide inositolphosphoryltransferase, inhibited by
aureobasidin A. | [References]
