Oosporein
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Oosporein is a microbial metabolite and a red crystalline toxin produced by various fungi. Oosporein can promote the reproduction of fungi in host bodies by inhibiting insect immunity, and possesses multiple activities such as antibacterial, antiviral (HSV), and insecticidal effects. Oosporein can inhibit plant growth. In addition, Oosporein can also induce apoptosis, cell membrane damage, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial damage. Oosporein has certain antitumor activity.

Oosporein exhibits antitumor activity in HL-60 and A549 cells, with an IC50 of 28.66 μM[1].
Oosporein shows moderate antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Micrococcus lysodeikticus), with MIC values of 12.5-50 μg/mL[2].
Oosporein (10 μM-10 mM; 1-14 days) can inhibit the growth of plants like oats and wheat coleoptiles, and also cause abnormal plant morphology, such as dwarfing of tobacco and kidney bean plants and leaf shrinkage[3].
Oosporein (0-200 µM; 2-24 h) inhibits cell viability, induces apoptosis, causes cell membrane damage, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial damage in MDCK and RAW 264.7 cells, such as increasing intracellular ROS production, decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential, and enhancing glutathione hydroxylase generation[4].

Oosporein (20-200 μM; intraperitoneal injection; single dose) causes histopathological damage in the kidneys and spleens of Balb/c mice, with the degree of damage being proportional to the dose[4].
