Application

Ikarugamycin has been used as an inhibitor of clathrin coated pit-mediated endocytosis in flow cytometry, as CME inhibitor to determine its suitability as a tool to study and distinguish endocytic pathways in mammalian cells and for endocytic inhibitor treatment in Hela cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ikarugamycin (IKA) is an antibiotic. It acts as an important tool for probing routes of endocytic trafficking. It has the ability to prevent clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) in plant cells. IKA is also capable of changing Golgi morphology.
Ikarugamycin, an unusual pentacyclic tetramic acid produced by Streptomyces sp., has a potent activity against the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis with IC50 of 0.3-1.25 μg/mL.
Ikarugamycin, an unusual pentacyclic tetramic acid produced by Streptomyces sp., has a potent activity against the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis with IC50 of 0.3-1.25 μg/mL. Ikarugamycin also demonstrates selective Gram positive antibacterial activity and exhibits anti-ulcer activity possibly through inhibition of Helicobacter. Ikarugamycin-induced inhibition of cholesteryl-ester accumulation reduced uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in mouse macrophages J774. Moreover, Ikarugamycin inhibits Nef-induced degradation of CD4 on Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV) infected T cells, thus increasing its half-life and possibly restoring some normal functions lost in the infected cells. Ikarugamycin inhibition of clathrin-coated pit-mediated endocytosis indicates it as a useful agent for studying the process of endocytosis. Ikarugamycin inhibit HL-60 cell proliferation through genotoxicity and apoptosis induction and to activated caspase by induction of intracellular rise in calcium levels and activation of p38 MAP kinase.

In eukaryotic cells, several pathways exist for the internalization of plasma membrane proteins and extracellular cargo molecules. These endocytic pathways can be divided into clathrin-dependent and clathrin-independent pathways. While clathrin-dependent pathways are known to be involved in a variety of

The antiprotozoal antibiotic ikarugamycin was found to significantly inhibit oxidized low-density lipoprotein(LDL)-induced accumulation of cholesteryl ester in macrophage J774 at a concentration over 1-4 microM. Cholesteryl ester synthesis from [14C]oleate in the macrophages was similarly inhibited by the antibiotic, while
