Biochem/physiol Actions

Caerulomycins produced by Streptomyces caeruleus are bipyridinic molecules endowed with antibiotic properties. Caerulomycin A was found to have a strong anti-fungal and anti-amoebic activity, and a mild antibacterial activity.

Preparation Note

Caerulomycin A stock solution may be prepared in DMSO or methanol at 1 mg/mL. The stock solution can be further diluted in water to 0.1 mg/mL. Higher concentrations my requrie gentle heating to 40 °C. Dilutions from the stock solution should be freshly prepared.

The anti-amoebic action of the bipyridyl antibiotic caerulomycin was assessed in vitro and in vivo using various strains of Entamoeba histolytica from polyxenic, axenic and monoxenic cultures. Minimum inhibition concentrations of caerulomycin (metronidazole) were 7.5 (5), 15.6(1.95) and 60 (2.5)
