Komaroidine
Komaroidine is a bactericidal agent. Komaroidine induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) bursts in bacterial cells, disrupts antioxidant enzyme function and redox homeostasis, increases membrane permeability, and triggers bacterial apoptosis. Komaroidine suppresses bacterial burden within infected plant tissues.Komaroidine exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against phytopathogenic bacteria including Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, and Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae. Komaroidine can be used for the research of rice bacterial leaf blight.

Biological Activity
Komaroidine (compound B2) potently inhibits Xoo, Xac, and Psa with EC50 values of 1.12 μg/mL, 4.85 μg/mL, and 20.08 μg/mL, respectively[1].
Komaroidine (12.5-50.0 μg/mL; 15 h) induces dose-dependent ROS accumulation in Xoo cells, with a 4.1-fold increase at 50.0 μg/mL[1].
Komaroidine (3.125-50.0 μg/mL) disrupts antioxidant enzyme activity in Xoo cells, with complete SOD inactivation and declining CAT activity at concentrations ≥12.5 μg/mL[1].
Komaroidine (25.0 μg/mL) synergistically enhances Xoo sensitivity to 0.05 mM H2O2, completely suppressing bacterial growth[1].
Komaroidine (12.5-50.0 μg/mL; 15 h) induces dose-dependent apoptosis in Xoo cells, with a 56.90% total apoptotic rate at 50.0 μg/mL, and increases membrane permeability in Xoo cells in a dose-dependent manner[1].
Komaroidine (compound B2) (25.0 μg/mL; 15 h) alters the transcriptome of Xoo PXO99A cells, affecting metabolic, stress, and apoptosis-related pathways[1].
Komaroidine (compound B2) (200 μg/mL; pot experiment application) exhibits superior in vivo control efficacy against rice bacterial leaf blight (BLB) by significantly reducing bacterial burden in infected tissues[1].
