Description

Penicillic acid is a potential antibiotic. It is carcinogenic and mutagenic by inducing DNA single strand breaks.

Penicillic acid is a mycotoxin isolated from Penicillium cyclopium and has known mutagenic and cytotoxic effects by arresting cell cycle in a metaphase and interrupting DNA synthesis.

It also irreversibly inactivates GMD (GDP-mannose dehydrogenase) which catalyzes GDP-mannuronic acid to alginate.

It has been reported that penicillic acid is a biologically active QSI (Quorum sensing inhibitory) compound and that neutrophils become activated when bacteria are treated with the acid.

 

Applications

• Antibiotics

• Used as an inactivator of GMD (GDP-mannose dehydrogenase)

• Used in quorum sensing studies

USE
Penicillic acid is a mycotoxin isolated from various strains of Penicillium and Aspergillus fungi that demonstrates mutagenic and cytotoxic effects. This compound is demonstrated to induce single-strand DNA breaks and to inhibit DNA synthesis in CHO cells. Penicillic acid is also reported to irreversibly inactivate GMD (GDP-mannose dehydrogenase), interrupting the committed step in alginate biosynthesis. Penicillic acid is an inhibitor of ADH/AKR1A1 and LDH.
