127785-64-2DescriptionAureobasidin A (R-106; Basifungin), the lead compound, has potent activity in vitro against many clinically relevant fungi, including Candida spp. , Cryptococcus neoformans, Blastomyces dermatidis, Histoplasma capsulatum, and some Aspergillus species. In vivo, in a murine model of systemic candidiasis, the compound was well tolerated and more effective than AmB and fluconazole. Molecular studies of aureobasidin A-resistant mutants of S. cerevisiae have led to the discovery of the aureobasidin resistance (AUR1) gene. It has been suggested that the gene product of the wild-type AUR1+ is the molecular target for aureobasidin A. AUR1+ can fully restore the activity of IPC synthase and sphingolipid synthesis, and that aureobasidin A does indeed function as a potent inhibitor of IPC synthase. The inhibition of this essential biosynthetic step leads to ceramide accumulation in growing cells and cell death. Cytological studies in S. cerevisiae after aureobasidin A exposure and after disruption of the AUR1+ gene suggest that the ultimate effect of the compound is the destruction of the cell membrane and the disturbance of intracellular microtubule organization[2].
UsesBasifungin, also known as aureuobacidin A, is an orally available cyclic depsipeptide antibiotic produced by Aureobasidium pullulans that is a fungicide at low concentrations. Aureobasidin A inhibits inositol phosphorylceramide synthase, an enzyme that catalyzes a key step in fungal sphingolipid biosynthesis. This may inhibit fungal cell growth.

DefinitionChEBI: Basifungin is a cyclodepsipeptide antibiotic, which is isolated from the filamentous fungus Aureobasidium pullulans R106 and is toxic to yeast at low concentrations (0.1-0.5 ug/ml).
