ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY TOOLS & SERVICESDianemycin is a polyether ionophore antibiotic produced by S. nanchangensis NS3226 that has insecticidal and in vitro antibacterial properties.1,2 Dianemycin exhibits antiviral properties against Zika virus (ZIKV) by blocking viral entry in vitro in a spectrum of cell types, including U2OS, human microvascular endothelial cells, and placental Jeg3 cells (IC50s = 100, 400, and 970 nM, respectively).3 Dianemycin also blocks ZIKV entry into primary cells, including extravillous trophoblasts, human primary uterine microvascular endothelial cells, human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and murine primary midbrain neuron-glia cultures.3 Efficacy of dianemycin extends to other viruses where it blocks entry into U2OS cells by West Nile, dengue, Sindbis, and chikungunya viruses.3
