General description

Beauvericin is a cyclohexadepsipeptide from the fungus Beauveria bassiana that belongs to the enniatin antibiotic family. It comprises three D-hydroxyisovaleryl and N-methylphenylalanyl residues each.

Application

Beauvericin has been used as an antimicrobial bioactive compound to test its effect on engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. It has also been used as a mycotoxin standard in the reverse-phase (RP) high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) to quantify mycotoxins produced by Fusarium oxysporum isolates.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Beauvericin (BEA) is a commercial entomopathogenic mycoinsecticide with antiviral, antibacterial, insecticidal, and cytotoxic properties. It elicits apoptotic and nematicidal activities as well. Beauvericin blocks multidrug efflux and Tor complex 1 (TORC1) kinase. It possesses ionophoric functionality and favors channel formation in patches of ventricular myocytes and synthetic membranes. It is shown to inhibit L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ current in the neuroblastoma cells.
Beauvericin (BEA), a cyclohexadepsipeptide produced by the fungus Beauveria bassiana (Bals.), has antiviral, antibacterial, nematicidal, insecticidal, cytotoxic, and apoptotic activity.

The antibiotic Beauvericin (BEA) was previously shown to express ionophoric properties under simple experimental systems. Its channel-forming activity was examined in inside-out patches of ventricular myocytes and synthetic membranes with the patch clamp and fluorescence imaging techniques. Current transitions to
