  • Methylelaiophylin generated superoxide radicals in Bacillus subtilis and showed antibacterial activity against a broad range of gram positive bacteria. The inhibition of DNA synthesis was more sensitive than one of RNA synthesis. A recombination-deficient mutant strain of B. subtilis was 2-fold more sensitive than a wild strain, and this sensitivity was reduced in the presence of an antioxidant, dithiothreitol. Methylelaiophylin generated superoxide radicals in B. subtilis lysates, and this suggests that the antibacterial activity of methylelaiophylin is related to the generation of active oxygen species in the cells.

  • Methylelaiophylin isolated from Streptomyces melanosporofaciens was selected as an ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor with an $IC_{50}$ value of 10 ${\mu}M$. It showed mixed-type inhibition of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase with a $K_i$ value of 5.94 ${\mu}M$. In addition, methylelaiophylin inhibited the intracellular trafficking of hemagglutinin-neuramidase (HN), a glycoprotein of Newcastle disease virus (NDV), in baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells. Methylelaiophylin inhibited the cell surface expression of NDV-HN glycoprotein without significantly affecting HN glycoprotein synthesis in NDV-infected BHK cells.
