Description

Equisetin is an N-methylserine-derived acyl tetramic acid isolated from a terrestrial fungus Fusarium equiseti NRRL 5537[1]. Equisetin is a tetramate-containing natural product with antibiotic and cytotoxic activity[2]. Equisetin inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and HIV-1 integrase activity but shows no activity against Gram-negative bacteria[3]. Equisetin is a Quorum-sensing inhibitor (QSI) that attenuates QS-regulated virulence phenotypes in P. aeruginosa without affecting


Equisetin is a member of the class of tetramic acids that is trichosetin in which the hydrogen attached to the lactam nitrogen has been replaced by a methyl group. It is produced by the filamentous fungus Fusarium heterosporum. It has a role as an antibacterial agent, a quorum sensing inhibitor, a HIV-1 integrase inhibitor and a fungal metabolite. It is an enol, a member of octahydronaphthalenes, a primary alcohol and a member of tetramic acids. It derives from a trichosetin. It is a conjugate acid of an equisetin(1-).

Equisetin Use and Manufacturing

The tetramic acid, equisetin, is produced by a number of species of Fusarium. Interest in equisetin emerged with reports of its inhibitory activity against HIV-1 integrase in vitro that was mechanistically distinct from previously described inhibitors. Equisetin inhibits 3' end-processing and strand transfer, as well as disintegration catalysed by either the full-length enzyme or the truncated integrase core.
