Neoaspergillic acid
Application Notes
Neoaspergillic acid is a cyclic hydroxamic acid isolated in the 1960s, related to pyrazine and isolated from various Aspergillus sp.. Neoaspergillic acid shows significant inhibitory activities against some Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria with MIC ranges of 0.5 - 16 μg/mL, and also exhibits moderate inhibitory activities against human cancer cell lines SPC-A-1, BEL-7402, SGC-7901 and K562 with IC50 ranges of 8 - 25 μg/mL.
