“…This bioactivity has driven development of PBDs as antitumor agents (50). The structureactivity relationships of PBDs are well understood (51). Presence of the indole substituent on the PBD scaffold suggests that tilivalline will not form a similar covalent DNA adduct.…”

Antibiotic therapy disrupts the human intestinal microbiota. In some patients rapid overgrowth of the enteric bacterium Klebsiella oxytoca results in antibiotic-associated hemorrhagic colitis (AAHC). We isolated and identified a toxin produced by K. oxytoca as the pyrrolobenzodiazepine tilivalline and demonstrated its causative action in the pathogenesis of colitis in an animal model. Tilivalline induced apoptosis in cultured human cells in vitro and disrupted epithelial barrier function, consistent with the mucosal damage associated with colitis observed in human AAHC and the corresponding animal model. Our findings reveal the presence of pyrrolobenzodiazepines in the intestinal microbiota and provide a mechanism for colitis caused by a resident pathobiont. The data link pyrrolobenzodiazepines to human disease and identify tilivalline as a target for diagnosis and neutralizing strategies in prevention and treatment of colitis.bacteria | enteric microbiota | cytotoxin

No clear candidate encoding the functionality for this transformation was identified in the characterized gene cluster, leaving open the possibility that this gene is located outside the gene cluster.…”

“…These results are consistent with the importance of the a-carbinol structure for antitumor activity documented with other antitumor antibiotics. 5,6,10) When safracins were given ip to mice implanted ip with P388 leukemia, intermittent (every 4th day on days 1, 5 and 9) or daily (days 1~5 and 1~9) treatments were more effective than a single dose on day 1 only for prolonging their life span. Accordingly, further studies on activity of safracins were made with these intermittent or daily dosage schedules.…”

Safracins A and B, new antibiotics produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens A2-2 , were tested for antitumor activity against mouse tumors . Structurally, these antibiotics belong to the saframycin family of antibiotics, and safracin B is 21-hydroxysafracin A . They showed antitumor activity against L1210 and P388 leukemias and B16 melanoma . The toxic and effective doses of safracin B were much lower than those of safracin A . Safracin B also prolonged the life span of tumor-bearing mice to a greater extent than safracin A . These results indicate that the a-carbinolamine structure plays an important role in the antitumor action of this type of antibiotic. Both safracins were, however, ineffective when their administration route differed from that used for inoculating tumor cells.
