Application

Iturin A was used in the study of Bacillomycin D (an iturin with antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus).

Biochem/physiol Actions

IturinA exhibits strong antifungal activity against pathogenic yeast and fungi. It interacts with the cytoplasmic membrane of the target cell forming ion conducting pores. Its mode of action could be attributed to its interaction with sterols and phospholipids. The compound causes the release of exo-vesicles from human erythrocytes.

Other Notes

A family of lipopeptides characterized by a heptapeptide cyclized with a C13-C17 β-amino fatty acid. Composed mainly of C14-C15 β-amino acids.

Multiple strains of Bacillus subtilis were demonstrated to stimulate plant defense responses, and cyclic lipopeptides may be involved in the elicitation of this induced systemic resistance phenomenon. Here, we further investigated molecular events underlying the interaction between such lipopeptides and
