Blasticidin A
Blasticidin A is an antibiotic produced by ''Streptomyces sp.'' that has antifungal An antifungal medication, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis (thrush), serious systemic infections such as crypto ... and antibacterial activity. The antibiotic function and structure of blasticidin A has been observed since 1955 by Fukunaga et al. in which the blasticidin A resembles aflastatin A.Biologically Active Natural Products: Argochemicals.

Blasticidin S
Blasticidin S is an antibiotic that is used in biology research for selecting cells in cell culture. Cells of interest can express the blasticidin resistance genes BSD or bsr, and can then survive treatment with the antibiotic. Blasticidin S is a nucleoside analogue antibiotic, resembling the nucleoside cytidine. Blasticidin works against human cells, fungi, and bacteria, all by disrupting protein translation. It was originally described by Japanese researchers in the 1950s seeking antibiotics for rice blast fungus. Chemistry A nucleoside analog, blasticidin S resembles the nucleoside cytidine. The chemical structure consists of a cytosine molecule, linked to a glucuronic acid-derived ring, linked in turn to the peptide N-methyl β-arginine. Uses Blasticidin S is widely used in cell culture for selecting and maintaining genetically manipulated cells. Cells of interest express the blasticidin S resistance genes BSD or bsr, and can then survive blasticidin S being added ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
