Mitorubrinic acid
Application Notes
Mitorubrinic acid was isolated from the phytotoxic fungus, Penicillium funiculosum. Mitorubrinic acid was patented in Japan in 1996 as a dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor for the treatment of protozoal diseases. Mitorubrinic acid shows weak inhibitory activity against Plasmodium falciparum dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (PfDHODH). Mitorubrinic acid inhibits trypsin with an IC50 41 µmol/l.
