Application Notes

Methyl piliformate is the methyl ester of piliformic acid produced by Xylaria sp.. Methyl piliformate has modest antimalarial activity. Little else is published on the bioprofile of the methyl ester, however its parent is reported to have mild inhibitory activity against Propionobacterium acnes, inhibiting the P. acnes-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines production in THP-1 cells. Piliformic acid is active against the plant fungal pathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides with MIC 2.92 μmol/mL and has antileishmanial activity.
