Chartreusin is an antibiotic originally isolated from S. chartreusis with diverse biological activities.{38764} It inhibits growth of S. aureus, B. subtilis, M. luteus, M. flavus, B. fragilis, C. difficile, C. perfringens, and P. acnes (MICs = 0.4-12.5 μg/ml).{38765} Chartreusin binds to DNA and induces electrophoretic shifts in both supercoiled and nicked plasmid DNA.{22198} It also inhibits strand-passing activity of topoisomerase II in a P4 unknotting assay. Chartreusin inhibits protein synthesis in chick embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) and mouse fibroblast 3T6 cells (IC50s = 7 and 70 μM, respectively).{38766} It is cytotoxic to human lung carcinoma A549 cells in vitro (IC50 = 95 nM) and increases median survival in P388 leukemia and B16 melanoma mouse tumor models when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg per day.{38765,22198}
