Uses
Carbazomycin D exhibits antituberculosis and antimalarial activities, that inhibits Plasmodium falciparum with an IC50 > 10 μg/mL, inhibits Mycobacterium tuberculosis with MIC of 25 μg/mL. Carbazomycin D exhibits cytotoxicity in cell MCF-7, KB, NCI-H187 and Vero, with IC50s of 21.3, 33.2, 12.9, and 34.3 μg/mL, respectively[1].
Biological Activity
Carbazomycin D is a bacterial metabolite that has been found in Streptomyces and has diverse biological activities.1,2 It is active against the fungi T. asteroides and T. mentagrophytes (MIC = 100 μg/ml for both) and the bacterium M. tuberculosis (IC50 = 25 μg/ml). Carbazomycin D is cytotoxic to MCF-7, KB, NCI H187, and Vero cells (IC50s = 21.3, 33.2, 12.9, and 34.3 μg/ml, respectively).2
