Leucinostatin H is a novel peptide antibiotic isolated from Paecilomyces lilacinus.
Uses
Leucinostatin H is a polypeptide antibiotic discovered in Paecilomyces marquandii, characterized by a tertiary amine-oxide terminal group. Leucinostatin H exhibits inhibitory activity against Gram-positive bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis, B. cereus, and Staphylococcus aureus (MIC 10-100 μg/mL). Leucinostatin H holds potential for research in anti-infective and plant disease control applications[1].
