In Vitro
Asukamycin (1-50 μM; 24 h) in a concentration-dependent manner reduces viability of five different human cell lines with IC50 of 1-5 μM[1].
Asukamycin (50 μM; 24 and 72 h; THP-1 cells) causes a significant increase in intracellular caspase 8 and caspase 3 activity[1].
Asukamycin (0-100 mcg/mL; bacteria, 18 h; fungus, 72 h) has antimicrobial activity. Asukamycin inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria within a concentration range of 0.78-12.5 mcg/mL and inhibits the growth of Trichophyton mentagrophytes at a concentration of 25 mcg/ mL[2].

Research Protocol for Infectious Diseases
Infectious-disease experiments test how pathogens interact with host barriers, innate immune receptors, inflammatory signaling, pathogen replication, and tissue injury; pattern-recognition receptors such as TLRs, RIG-I-like receptors, NOD-like receptors, and inflammasomes detect microbial molecules and activate NF-κB, interferon, and cytokine responses. The central hypothesis is that infection severity reflects the balance between pathogen burden and host response: protective inflammation restricts pathogen growth, whereas excessive or mislocalized inflammation contributes to tissue damage and disease phenotype. Unresolved questions include which host pathways are protective versus pathogenic, why some infection models fail to translate to human disease, and which combined readouts best predict clinically relevant infection outcomes.
