Metabolite Identification
Common NameRhizoxin S2
DescriptionRhizoxin S2 is a member of the chemical class of antimitotic agents, specifically a metabolite produced by certain bacteria. It exhibits significant biological activity, demonstrating amoebicidal effects and lethality toward the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (PMID:36005392 ). In addition to its toxic effects on nematodes, Rhizoxin S2 induces notable changes in cell morphology and inhibits the growth of various organisms, including C. elegans, with its strongest growth inhibition being influenced by the spatial structure of the environment, such as agar versus liquid culture (PMID:34347373 ). Interestingly, while Rhizoxin S2 affects the growth of certain cells, it does not impact algal motility, which is more potently inhibited by orfamide A (IC50 = 4.1 μM) (PMID:34347373 ). Furthermore, research has explored the structural modifications of Rhizoxin S2, particularly the oxazole side chain, through mutasynthesis using engineered mutants to enhance its antitumor properties (PMID:23106078 ). This highlights the potential of Rhizoxin S2 in both ecological and therapeutic contexts.
