Comment: Cladosporin is a tricyclic octaketide that is a secondary metabolite produced by several fungal genera including Cladosporium and Aspergillus. Cladosporin exhibits broad-spectrum bioactivity, including antimalarial, antifungal, antibacterial, plant growth inhibitory properties and mammalian anti-inflammatory effects.
The Malaria tab on this ligand page provides additional curator comments of relevance to the Guide to MALARIA PHARMACOLOGY. Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Bioactivity Comments |
The antiparasite activity of cladosporin against both the liver stage and asexual blood stage of the Plasmodium lifecycle is provided in the interaction table below. Cladosporin is greater than 100-fold more potent against PfcKRS relative to the human enzyme, which is conferred by the identity of two amino acids within the enzyme active site [1]. |
