Jolkinolide B inhibits mycobacterial growth by down-regulating ribosomal proteins and interfering with protein synthesis
The traditional Chinese medicine Euphorbia fischeriana Steud (E. fischeriana) has been used for treating lymph node tuberculosis (TB) for a long time. This study demonstrates that Jolkinolide B, a component of E. fischeriana, exhibits antimycobacterial activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 3 μg/mL against M. tuberculosis H37Ra. Additionally, it shows bactericidal effect on RAW264.7 macrophages infected with M. tuberculosis at a concentration of 2 × MIC. Mechanistic study via transcriptome revealed that Jolkinolide B significantly reduced the transcription of 17 ribosomal proteins, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis in M. tuberculosis. RT-qPCR confirmed that Jolkinolide B decreased the expression of mycobacterial ribosomal proteins in a concentration-dependent manner. Finally, morphological observations indicated that Jolkinolide B caused the tubercle bacilli to become shorter and deformed. This study highlights a natural compound from E. fischeriana and clarifies its mechanism of action against TB, supporting the rational use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and antibiotics in TB treatment.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry provides an international forum for the publication of full original research papers and critical reviews on molecular interactions in key biological targets such as receptors, channels, enzymes, nucleotides, lipids and saccharides.
The aim of the journal is to promote a better understanding at the molecular level of life processes, and living organisms, as well as the interaction of these with chemical agents. A special feature will be that colour illustrations will be reproduced at no charge to the author, provided that the Editor agrees that colour is essential to the information content of the illustration in question.
