Beschreibung

General description

Cycloheximide is an antibiotic having significant antifungal properties. It is produced by streptomycin-producing strains of Streptomyces griseus and acts by inhibiting protein synthesis. Its main biological activity is translation inhibition in eukaryotes resulting in cell growth arrest and cell death. It is used as a fungicide.
As per Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, repealing the directive 91/414, cycloheximide is not approved for use in the European Union (EU).

Application

Cycloheximide may find the following uses:

• To evaluate the antifungal efficacy and safety of cycloheximide as a supplement in Optisol-GS
• To study the effect of cycloheximide on leaf-cutting ant workers
• To study the effect of streptomycin, cycloheximide, fungizone, captan, carbofuran, cygon, and pentachloronitrobenzene on soil microorganisms
• To study the fungal control of nitrous oxide production in a semiarid grassland
• To study the activity and degradation of streptomycin and cycloheximide in soil

Biochem/physiol Actions

Wirkungsweise: Translationshemmung in Eukaryonten, die zu einem Stillstand des Zellwachstums und zum Zelltod führt. CHX wird häufig für die Selektion von CHX-resistenten Hefe- und Pilzstämmen, für die kontrollierte Hemmung der Proteinsynthese für den Nachweis von kurzlebigen Proteinen und die Superinduktion der Proteinexpression und für die Einleitung der Apoptose oder die Ermöglichung der Einleitung der Apoptose durch Todesrezeptoren eingesetzt.

Aktivitätsspektrum: Wirksam gegen Hefen und Pilze wie Candida, Aspergillus, Saccharomyces, Penicillium
