Reveromycin D is a bacterial metabolite originally isolated from Streptomyces. It inhibits EGF-induced mitogenic activity in Balb/MK cells and has pH-dependent antifungal activity against C. albicans (MICs = 2 and >500 μg/ml at pH 3 and 7.4, respectively). Reveromycin D also inhibits proliferation of KB and K562 cells (IC50s = 1.6 and 1.3 μg/ml, respectively).
Reveromycin D is a minor component of the reveromycin complex.
Reveromycin D is the isopentyl analogue and a minor component of the reveromycin complex, isolated from a Streptomyces sp.. Published information on reveromycin D suggests that it is more active than its straight chain analogue, reveromycin C.
