| Bioactivity | Novobiocin (Albamycin) is a potent and orally active antibiotic. Novobiocin also is a DNA gyrase inhibitor and a heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) antagonist. Novobiocin has the potential for the research of highly beta-lactam-resistant pneumococcal infections. Novobiocin shows anti-orthopoxvirus activity[1][2][3][4][6]. |
| Invitro | Novobiocin (1 mM) competitively inhibits ATP binding to gyrase B to interfere with nucleotide binding and interferes with the association of the co-chaperones Hsc70 and p23 with Hsp90[1].Novobiocin (200 µM; 24 h) inhibits the rate of repair of both cis-DDP and BCNU induced DNA interstrand cross-links and with a corresponding decrease in the clonogenic survival of the human glioblastoma multiforme cells[2].Novobiocin (0.3 mM; 48 hours) induces a caspase-3/7 enzyme–dependent apoptosis assays with an induction of approximately three- to fivefold of apoptotic cells in K562, HL60, Mutz-2[5]. |
