Potent Antimalarial Activities of Polyether Antibiotic, X-206.

Abstract: In the course of our screening program to discover antimalarial antibiotics, which are active against drug resistant Plasmodium falciparum in vitro and rodents infected with P. berghei in vivo, from the culture broth of microorganisms, we found a selective and potent active substance produced by an actinomycete strain K99-0413. It was identified as a known polyether antibiotic, X-206. We also compared the in vitro antimalarial activities and cytotoxicities of 12 known polyethers with X-206. Amongthem, X-206 sh… Show more

“…Therefore, the remaining degree of unsaturation should be because of a ring structure. The HMBC correlations from the oxygenated sp 3 Figure 4. This structure was confirmed by the NOE correlations between the methoxy proton and H-7, and between H-3 and H 2 -8.…”

“…3 A mouse model using a malaria-derived strain of P. berghei N (chloroquine sensitive) was used to assess in vivo antimalarial activity, as described previously. 3,4 Test compounds were solubilized in 10% DMSO-Tween 80 aq. soln and administered s.c. to mice 2 h after infection with parasites (day 0).…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8] In the course of our screening, we found borrelidin, produced by an actinomycete strain OM-0060, that proved to be more potent than chloroquine or artemether (using in vivo oral administration) against drug-resistant P. yoelii. 6 The reported biological activities of borrelidin are suggested to be the results of protein synthesis inhibition, caused by the effect on threonyl-tRNA synthetase.…”

“…11 However, the mechanism of antimalarial activity of borrelidin has not yet been identified. In this paper, we report the stage-specific action of borrelidin in vitro, using a drug-resistant parasite strain, determined by parasite lactate dehydrogenase (p-LDH) activity 3 and by morphological observation. Furthermore, we tested the effect of L-threonine, which appears to curtail the antimalarial activity of borrelidin, possibly through its effect on threonyl-tRNA synthetase, with a view to gaining an initial assessment of the antimalarial mode of action.…”
