| Bioactivity | Validamycin A, a fungicidal, is an agricultural antibiotic. Validamycin A is originally isolated from Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. limoneus. Validamycin A inhibits the growth of A. flavus, with a MIC of 1 μg/mL[1]. Validamycin A shows potent inhibitory activity against trehalase of Rhizoctonia solani, with an IC50 of 72 μM[2]. Validamycin A is a reversible tyrosinase inhibitor, with a Ki of 5.893 mM[3]. |
| Invitro | Validamycin A (0.5-1 μg/mL; 18 hours) inhibits the growth of A. flavus and delayed conidial germination[1].Validamycin A shows no cytotoxicity to human bronchial epithelial cells[1].Validamycin A directly binds to several residues in the active site of tyrosinase, including HIS85, HIS244, GLU256, HIS259 and ASN260[1].
