Application Notes
Benastatin B is isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp.MI384-DF12 as an inhibitor of glutathione S-transferase (GST).1,2 The inhibition of benastatin B against GST is competitive with 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene (Ki: 3.7×10-6M), and noncompetitive with glutathione (Ki: 4.2×10-6M). Benastatin B has activity against Gram-positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).1
