complex (MAC) is a serious disease that is mainly caused by infection with the non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), and . Seven new compounds, designated mavintramycins A-G (-), were isolated along with structurally related compounds, including amicetin () and plicacetin (), from the culture broth of sp. OPMA40551 as anti-MAC compounds that were active against and . Among them, mavintramycin A showed the most potent and selective inhibition of and . Furthermore, mavintramycin A was active against more than 40 clinically isolated , including multidrug-resistant strains, and inhibited the growth of in a persistent infection cell model using THP-1 macrophages. Mavintramycin A also exhibited efficacy in silkworm and mouse infection assays with NTM. An experiment to elucidate its mechanism of action revealed that mavintramycin A inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 23S ribosomal RNA in NTM. Mavintramycin A, with a different chemical structure from those of clinically used agents, is a promising drug candidate for the treatment of MAC infectious disease.
马文他汀 A(Mavintramycin A)是一种新型的非结核分枝杆菌(NTM)核糖体 RNA 靶向抗生素,对结核分枝杆菌(Mycobacterium tuberculosis)和 MAC 具有强效和选择性抑制作用。
马文他汀 A 是从 sp. OPMA40551 的发酵液中分离得到的,与结构相关的化合物包括阿米卡星(Amicetin)和普里卡汀(Plicacetin)等,具有抗 MAC 活性。
在这些化合物中,马文他汀 A 对 结核分枝杆菌和 MAC 的抑制作用最强。此外,马文他汀 A 对 40 多种临床分离株均有活性,包括耐多药菌株,并且能够抑制 THP-1 巨噬细胞中持续感染细胞模型中 MAC 的生长。马文他汀 A 在 NTM 感染的家蚕和小鼠模型中也表现出良好的疗效。
作用机制研究表明,马文他汀 A 通过与 NTM 的 23S rRNA 结合,抑制蛋白质合成。马文他汀 A 与临床使用的药物具有不同的化学结构,是一种有前途的治疗 MAC 感染性疾病的候选药物。
