Caerulomycin A
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Caerulomycin A is an orally active immunomodulator and antimicrobial agent. Caerulomycin A targets Smad3, STAT1 and GATA-3. Caerulomycin A downregulates GATA-3 expression, inhibits Th2 cell differentiation and Th2 cytokine production, reduces IgE levels, and alleviates pulmonary inflammatory responses and eosinophil infiltration. Caerulomycin A ameliorates collagen-induced arthritis symptoms, reduces joint inflammation and synovitis, and decreases the levels of proinflammatory cytokines in joints. Caerulomycin A inhibits the growth of some filamentous fungi, yeasts and specific bacteria. Caerulomycin A can be used in research related to arthritis and asthma.

Caerulomycin A (0-0.31 μM; 5 days, 72 h) dose-dependently induces CD4+Foxp3+ Treg generation in non-polarizing conditions, synergistically enhances TGF-β-mediated Treg generation, suppresses Th1 and Th17 cell differentiation and cytokine secretion, reduces CD44 expression, and increases mitochondrial membrane potential in mouse naïve CD4+ T cells[1].
Caerulomycin A (0.04-0.15 μM; 48 h, 4 days) dose-dependently suppresses CD4+ effector T cell activation and alloreactive T cell proliferation in mouse cell cultures via generated Tregs (with or without TGF-β)[1].
Caerulomycin A (0.04-0.31 μM; 24 h pre-incubation) dose-dependently suppresses IFN-γ/IL-6-mediated STAT1 signaling by enhancing SOCS1 expression, reduces STAT1 target gene and protein expression, and enhances TGF-β-mediated Smad3 signaling in mouse CD4+ T cells[1].
Caerulomycin A (0.04-0.15 μM; 5 days) dose-dependently rescues mouse CD4+Foxp3+ Treg generation from IFN-γ-mediated suppression, and this Treg generation is strictly dependent on Smad3 activity[1].
Caerulomycin A (0.08-0.31 μM; 6 days) inhibits IL-4 expression in terminally differentiated mouse Th2 CD4+ T cells, with a concentration-dependent reduction in IL-4+ cell percentage over 6 days[2].
Caerulomycin A (0.08-0.31 μM; 6 days) concentration-dependently inhibits the differentiation of mouse naïve CD4+ T cells to Th2 cells, reducing both IL-4 expression (with significant inhibition at 0.31 μM) and GATA-3 expression in IL-4+ CD4+ T cells after 6 days of culture[2].
Caerulomycin A (5-100 μg/mL; up to 96 h) inhibits growth of diverse yeasts, filamentous fungi, uredospores, and bacteria in an agar dilution assay, with complete inhibition ranging from 5 μg/mL (for Candida albicans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Isaria cretacea, Rhizopus nigricans at 24 h) to 100 μg/mL (for Escherichia coli and Puccinia graminis var. tritici race 15B uredospore germination at all time points) when incubated at 28°C for up to 96 hours[3].
Caerulomycin A (50 μg/mL; 7-day fermentation) inhibits growth of Candida albicans in a disc diffusion assay, produced via a 7-day fermentation of Streptomyces caeruleus PRL 1687 in starch-Czapelt medium[3].

Caerulomycin A (1-10 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 12 days) dose-dependently attenuates asthma symptoms in OVA-induced BALB/c mice, with the 10 mg/kg oral daily dose achieving significant suppression of lung inflammation, eosinophil infiltration, Th2 cytokine production, and IgE levels[2].
