Kalimantacin A
Kalimantacin A is an Antibiotic. Kalimantacin A is produced by Alcaligenes sp. YL-02632S. Kalimantacin A inhibits bacterial fatty acid biosynthesis. Kalimantacin A exerts selective antibacterial activity against staphylococci, including multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Kalimantacin A shows no activity against most Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. Kalimantacin A exhibits anticancer activity against leukemia and cervical cancer. Kalimantacin A can be used in studies related to staphylococcal infections.

Biological Activity
|
Microbial Metabolite |
Kalimantacin A potently inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA[2].
Kalimantacin A (overnight treatment) potently inhibits the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (including MRSE) with an MIC of 0.2 μg/mL; it exhibits only weak activity against some Gram-negative bacteria, and shows no activity against Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa[3].
Kalimantacin A (72 h) exhibits cytotoxicity against P388 mouse leukemia cells (IC50 = 35 μg/mL) and HeLa S3 cells (IC50 = 50 μg/mL) after 72 h of incubation[3].
