Application

Destruxin A from Metarrhizium anisopliae has been used for immersion and inoculation bioassay in Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. It has been used as a transport inhibitor in Drosophila melanogaster.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Destruxin A is a cyclic hexadepsipeptide produced by fungus causing paralysis and death in insects. May suppress the insect immune response. Possesses an inhibitory activity on leukemic cell proliferation, decreasing the number of cells in G2/M phase. It is virustatic against arboviruses.

Destruxins, secondary metabolites first reported in 1961, are cyclic hexadepsipeptides composed of an alpha-hydroxy acid and five amino acid residues. The name "destruxin" is derived from "destructor" from the species Oospora destructor, the entomopathogenic fungus from which these metabolites were
