Leucinostatin A is a fungal metabolite originally isolated from P. lilacinus with diverse biological activities.1 It is active against P. oryzae, B. cinera, P. chrysogenum, X. oryzae, S. cerevisiae, and C. albicans fungi and B. subtilis, S. aureus, S. lutea, and M. phlei bacteria in a disc assay.1 Leucinostatin A (0.1-1 μg/ml) reduces T cell activation induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA; Item No. 10008014) or an anti-CD3 antibody in a concentration-dependent manner.2 It inhibits proliferation of DU145 prostate cancer cells co-cultured with PrSC stromal cells in vitro (IC50 = 0.045 μg/ml).3
