NOCARDAMINE

Description

Nocardamine is a ferrioxamine siderophore that has been found in Streptomyces and has diverse biological activities. It chelates iron in a chrome azurol S assay (IC₅₀ = 9.9 μM). Nocardamine inhibits M. smegmatis and M. bovis biofilm formation (MIC = 10 μM for both), an effect that can be reversed by iron. It is cytotoxic to T47D, SK-MEL-5, SK-MEL-28, and RPMI-7951 cancer cells (IC₅₀s = 6, 18, 12, and 14 μM, respectively). Nocardamine also induces morphological changes in BM-N4 insect cells.
