Monascorubramine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Monascorubramine is a metabolite derived from Monascus with antibacterial, cytotoxic and antimitotic activities. Monascorubramine interferes with mitotic spindle tubulin, triggers metaphase mitotic arrest, induces abnormal c‑mitosis division, and exerts antimitotic effects. Monascorubramine exhibits antibacterial activity and inhibits both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Monascorubramine can be used in studies related to bacterial infections.

Biological Activity
Monascorubramine (compound 5) (0.1-200 μM; 24 h) reduces the viability of immortalized human kidney epithelial (IHKE) cells, with an EC50 value of 20.1-31.1 μM after 24 h of incubation. Its interfering effect on cellular metabolism is stronger than its effect on cell membrane integrity[1].
Monascorubramine (25-100 μM; 24 h) induces metaphase mitotic arrest in immortalized human kidney epithelial (IHKE) cells, triggers complete metaphase arrest, and induces c-mitosis by interfering with mitotic spindle tubulin[1].
Monascorubramine potently binds to Staphylococcus aureus DHFR (with a Kd of 0.266 μM), Escherichia coli DHFR (with a Kd of 0.552 μM), and Candida albicans DHFR (with a Kd of 1.493 μM), exhibiting the highest selectivity for Staphylococcus aureus DHFR[2].
