Antibiotics are antimicrobial compounds used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infection. They can either kill or they can inhibit the growth of bacteria. Several antibiotics are also effective against fungi and protozoans. Some are toxic to humans and animals, even when given in therapeutic dosages. Antibacterial antibiotics are commonly classified based on their mechanism of action, chemical structure, or spectrum of activity. Most antibiotics target bacterial metabolic functions or growth processes. Those antibiotics that interfere with the function of essential bacterial enzymes, or that target the bacterial cell wall or the cell membrane, are usually bactericidal. Those that target protein synthesis are usually bacteriostatic. Further categorizations can be made based on target specificity. Use of antibiotics is essential in retaining the purity of particular selection factors in populations of cells. In recent years antibiotics have been found to be valuable in a wide range of life science disciplines. Fermentek has had particular success in manufacturing antibiotics using fermentation processes.

Family of nucleoside antibiotics produced by Streptomyces lysosuperificus. Tunicamycin interferes with glycoprotein synthesis in yeast and mammalian systems and enhances antiviral and anticellular activity of interferon. Possesses cell - surface altering activity. Inhibits the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate from UDP -N- acetylglucosamine to dolichol monophosphate and thereby blocks the formation of N-glycosidic protein-carbohydrate linkages. Active in vitro against Gram-positive bacteria, yeasts, fungi and viruses.

Thiostrepton is used as a reagent for both positive and negative selection of genes involved in nucleotide metabolism. Thiostrepton is highly active against gram-positive bacteria. In its crude form, Thiostrepton is used in veterinary medicine, in mastitis caused by gram-negative organisms and in dermatologic disorders. inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. Inhibits mRNA-tRNA translocation by GTPase elongation factor G (EF-G), EF-TU(GTP)-catalyzed aa-tRNA delivery and the activity of initiation factor 2 (IF-2).

As an antitumoragent Thiostrepton induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in breast cancer cells via downregulation of FOXM1 expression. Thiostrepton is a FoxM1 specific inhibitor.

Description

Thiolutin is a sulfur-containing antibiotic, which is a potent inhibitor of bacterial and yeast RNA polymerases. It was found to inhibit in vitro RNA synthesis directed by all three yeast RNA polymerases (I, II, and III). Thiolutin is also an inhibitor of mannan and glucan formation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and used for the analysis of mRNA stability. Studies have shown that thiolutin inhibits adhesion of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to vitronectin and thus suppresses tumor cell-induced angiogenesis in vivo.
