General description

Beauvericin is a cyclohexadepsipeptide from the fungus Beauveria bassiana that belongs to the enniatin antibiotic family. It comprises three D-hydroxyisovaleryl and N-methylphenylalanyl residues each.

Application

Beauvericin has been used as an antimicrobial bioactive compound to test its effect on engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. It has also been used as a mycotoxin standard in the reverse-phase (RP) high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) to quantify mycotoxins produced by Fusarium oxysporum isolates.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Beauvericin (BEA) is a commercial entomopathogenic mycoinsecticide with antiviral, antibacterial, insecticidal, and cytotoxic properties. It elicits apoptotic and nematicidal activities as well. Beauvericin blocks multidrug efflux and Tor complex 1 (TORC1) kinase. It possesses ionophoric functionality and favors channel formation in patches of ventricular myocytes and synthetic membranes. It is shown to inhibit L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ current in the neuroblastoma cells.
Beauvericin (BEA), a cyclohexadepsipeptide produced by the fungus Beauveria bassiana (Bals.), has antiviral, antibacterial, nematicidal, insecticidal, cytotoxic, and apoptotic activity.
