Citromycetin

Citromycetin is a fungal metabolite originally isolated from P. frequentans with antibiotic activity against the Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and the Gram-negative bacteria V. cholerae and S. flexneri. Citromycetin is selectively cytotoxic to cancerous cells over non-cancerous cells. Formulations containing citromycetin have been studied for use in the treatment of amyloidosis and alpha-synuclein fibril diseases.
