Leucinostatin A(Cat No.:R002707)is a cyclic peptide antibiotic with potent antifungal, antiprotozoal, and cytotoxic properties. Isolated from Paecilomyces lilacinus, it disrupts cellular energy production by inhibiting mitochondrial ATP synthesis, making it effective against a variety of pathogens, including Candida albicans and Plasmodium falciparum. Its unique structure, comprising non-standard amino acids and a lipid tail, contributes to its high biological activity. Leucinostatin A is also a focus of cancer research for its ability to induce apoptosis in tumor cells. Ongoing studies explore its therapeutic potential and mechanisms of action in diverse applications.
