Antibiotics are antimicrobial compounds used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infection. They can either kill or they can inhibit the growth of bacteria. Several antibiotics are also effective against fungi and protozoans. Some are toxic to humans and animals, even when given in therapeutic dosages. Antibacterial antibiotics are commonly classified based on their mechanism of action, chemical structure, or spectrum of activity. Most antibiotics target bacterial metabolic functions or growth processes. Those antibiotics that interfere with the function of essential bacterial enzymes, or that target the bacterial cell wall or the cell membrane, are usually bactericidal. Those that target protein synthesis are usually bacteriostatic. Further categorizations can be made based on target specificity. Use of antibiotics is essential in retaining the purity of particular selection factors in populations of cells. In recent years antibiotics have been found to be valuable in a wide range of life science disciplines. Fermentek has had particular success in manufacturing antibiotics using fermentation processes.

Description

Geldanamycin is a benzoquinone ansamycin antibiotic, which binds to Hsp90 (Heat Shock Protein 90) and alters its function. Geldanamycin is a natural product from which several valuable derivates were synthesized. All derivates share its HSP90 inhibition, and vary in overall toxicity and water solubility.

Description

FK506 is 23-membered macrolide lactone discovered in 1984, by Kino T, Hatanaka H and Hashimoto M. [reference 2] FK506 exhibits potent inhibitory effect on T- lymphocyte activation. It binds to immunophilins FK506 binding proteins (FKBP-12) and a complex of FKBP-12, calcium, calmodulin and calcineurin is formed, inhibiting phosphatase activity of calcineurin. This prevents dephosphorylation and translocation of nuclear factor of activated T – cells (NF-AT) and inhibits transcription of early T-cell activation gene, Interleukin-2, Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF-a) and proto-oncogenes; suppressing expression of IL-2 and IL-7 receptor. This results in inhibition of T-lymphocyte activation. FK506 also inhibits the mixed lymphocyte reaction, generation of cytotoxic T-cells and T-cell dependent B-cell activation.

Cerulenin was originally proposed as antifungal antibiotic. Cerulenin is used as a biochemical tool. Cerulenin has been shown to cause dramatic weight loss in animals. Cerulenin blocks synthesis of fatty acids and sterols by binding to the enzyme fatty-acid-synthase. In some tumor lines, this triggers apoptosis., an effect believed to be mediated by the accumulation of malonyl-coenzyme A in cells with an upregulated FAS pathway.

Applications

Blasticidin-S is a commonly used tool in genetic engineering. Blasticidin-S inhibits protein synthesis in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It is common method to include a gene for Blasticidin S resistance into the plasmid being inserted into the target cells, and then to apply Blasticidin S to the culture to select these cells that have acquired that immunity. The Blasticidin S gene resistance gene (BSR), found in Bacillus cereus K55-S1, has been used in multiple studies for its use as a selective compound. Another antibiotic that belongs to the family of nucleosides is Puromycin.
