Natural and semi-synthetic antibiotics

Tigecycline (GAR-936), a broad-spectrum glycylcycline, disrupts protein synthesis by binding the 30S ribosomal subunit.

Applications Deoxynivalenol is a tricothecene mycotoxin and potent protein synthesis inhibitor. Deoxynivalenol exhibits cytotoxic activity in vivo via the ribotoxic stress response. Deoxynivalenol induces p38-mediated gene expression and apoptosis in leukocytes; activity results in systemic expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and other proinflammatory cytokines. Also induces migration of NF-κB into the nucleus.Environmental contaminants; Food contaminants Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Bae, et al.: Toxicol.
