Discovery of Antimalarial Drugs from Streptomycetes Metabolites Using a Metabolomic Approach

Abstract: Natural products continue to play an important role as a source of biologically active substances for the development of new drug. Streptomyces, Gram-positive bacteria which are widely distributed in nature, are one of the most popular sources of natural antibiotics. Recently, by using a bioassay-guided fractionation, an antimalarial compound, Gancidin-W, has been discovered from these bacteria. However, this classical method in identifying potentially novel bioactive compounds from the natural products requir… Show more

“…Streptomyces is the largest genus of the Actinobacteria phylum and the most important for the pharmaceutical industry [8]. Members of this group of Gram positive bacteria are well known for their outstanding capacity to produce active secondary metabolites, including antibiotic, antitumor, antimalarial and immunosuppressive agents [9][10][11][12][13]. Such variety of biological properties is due to the large diversity of structurally distinct compounds produced by over 900 species of Streptomyces [14].…”

“…4 There are differences in the inhibitory activity due to the types of organic solvent used for the extraction. 27 Based on the IC 50 results and comparisons of the IC 50 value parameters, it could be inferred that the secondary metabolite compound of Streptomyces sp has the best inhibitory power. The mechanism of secondary metabolite of Streptomyces sp to inhibit the growth of Plasmodium falciparum is related to presence of chemical compounds that are active as inhibitors of proteases in Trypsin, Chymotrypsin and Proteinase K. 28 Proteases are needed by Plasmodium stage merozoites to breakdown and invase subsequent erythrocytes and to decrease hemoglobin by trophozoitin K. intraerythrocytic.…”
