Thiolactomycin
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Thiolactomycin is an orally active bacterial type II fatty acid synthase (FAS-II) inhibitor with antibacterial and antimalarial activities. Thiolactomycin specifically targets KasA/KasB in mycobacteria and FabB/FabF in bacteria, thereby inhibiting the biosynthesis of fatty acids and mycolic acids. Thiolactomycin can be used in studies related to tuberculosis, systemic bacterial infections, and experimental pyelonephritis.

Thiolactomycin (56-240 μM; 21 days) inhibits growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv with an MIC50 of 56 μM, MIC90 of 125 μM, and MIC99 of 240 μM[1].
Thiolactomycin (200 μM; 1 h) inhibits mycolic acid biosynthesis in Mycobacterium smegmatis cell wall fractions by 54% at a concentration of 200 μM[1].
Thiolactomycin (200 μM-1.0 mM) inhibits type II fatty acid synthase activity in Mycobacterium smegmatis cytosolic extracts by 59% at 200 μM and 69% at 1.0 mM[1].
TlnCACP(apo)-Cy, TlnDA-PCP(holo), and TlnA (10 μM, 10 μM, 2 μM; 4 h) are necessary and sufficient to convert 7-CoA to thiolactomycin, while TlnDTE does not participate in thiolactomycin biosynthesis[2].
TlnA (2 μM; 2 h) catalyzes the conversion of the unstable thiocarboxylate intermediate 9 to thiolactomycin, with 6 acting as a spontaneous byproduct of 9, not a substrate for TlnA[2].
TlnCACP-Cy (10 μM; 2 h) mediates sulfur transfer from L-Cys to the polyketide intermediate via a condensation and heterocyclization-dependent mechanism, requiring catalytic residues D140 and D394, but not N352, to generate the thiocarboxylate intermediate 9[2].
Thiolactomycin inhibits growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa J-272 with an MIC of 800 μg/mL and Pseudomonas aeruginosa M-57740 with an MIC of 1.56 μg/mL in heart infusion medium[3].
Thiolactomycin (24 h) exhibits broad-spectrum aerobic antibacterial activity, with particularly potent activity against Salmonella enteritidis T-1 (MIC 6.25-12.5 μg/mL), Serratia marcescens FU-111 (MIC 50-100 μg/mL), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa GMB-75 (MIC 6.25 μg/mL) on NA and ANTI-3 agars[3].
Thiolactomycin (40 h) exhibits potent activity against Bacteroides fragilis strains (MIC 3.12-12.5 μg/mL) and Fusobacterium necroforum S-45 (MIC 3.25 μg/mL) under anaerobic conditions on Gam agar medium[3].
Thiolactomycin (25-200 μg/mL) shows moderate in vitro antibacterial activity against S. marcescens 101, S. marcescens 92, S. marcescens 5, K. pneumoniae 3K25, K. pneumoniae 15C, and E. coli 11 with MIC values ranging from 25 to 200 μg/mL[4].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Thiolactomycin (≤0.05-12.8 mg/mouse; s.c., p.o.; single dose, two doses at 1 and 3 hours post-challenge) exhibits dose-dependent protective efficacy against multiple bacterial systemic infections in mice, with ED50 values ranging from ≤1.50 to 12.8 mg/mouse, and greater efficacy than carbenicillin against several S. marcescens and K. pneumoniae strains[4].
Thiolactomycin (0.5-2 mg/mouse; s.c.; 4 doses at 5, 7, 12, 24 hours post-challenge) reduces kidney bacterial counts and abscess formation in mice with experimental pyelonephritis, with significant efficacy at doses of 0.5 to 2 mg/mouse delivered subcutaneously four times post-challenge[4].
Thiolactomycin (2.83-3.25 mg/mouse; s.c.; two doses at 1 and 3 hours post-challenge) is twice as effective as carbenicillin against S. marcescens systemic infection in cyclophosphamide-induced immunocompromised mice (ED50 3.25 mg/mouse) and equally effective as carbenicillin in hydrocortisone-induced immunocompromised mice (ED50 2.83 mg/mouse)[4].

Result:Reduced kidney bacterial counts to 2.2×106 cells/g (p<0.01) in S. marcescens 101-infected mice at 0.5 mg/mouse.
Reduced kidney bacterial counts to 1.0×105 cells/g (p<0.001) in S. marcescens 101-infected mice at 1 mg/mouse, with significant suppression of abscess formation compared to controls.
Reduced kidney bacterial counts to 9.5×105 cells/g (p<0.05) in K. pneumoniae 3K25-infected mice at 1 mg/mouse, with reduced abscess formation compared to controls.
Reduced kidney bacterial counts to 4.8×105 cells/g (p<0.05) in K. pneumoniae 3K25-infected mice at 2 mg/mouse, with reduced abscess formation compared to controls.
Was more effective than ampicillin against both pathogens and comparable to ceftezole against K. pneumoniae 3K25.
