Evernic Acid is an inhibitor of two key plasmodial FAS-II enzymes PfFabZ and PfFabI
The Type II fatty acid synthase (FAS) system catalysed fatty acid biosynthesis in most bacteria. Fatty acids are aliphatic acids important for energy production and storage, cellular structure and as intermediates in the biosynthesis of hormones and other biologically important molecules. The FAS-II exists in archaea and bacteria, which has been characterized by the use of discrete, monofunctional enzymes for fatty acid synthesis. Inhibitors of this pathway (FASII) are being investigated as possible antibiotics. The bacterial FASII pathway is a promising target for the development of novel antimicrobial drugs [2]. Disruption of genes encoding mitochondrial FAS enzymes in yeast results in a respiratory-deficient phenotype and small rudimentary mitochondria [3].
Evernic acid was a secondary metabolite produced by some species of lichen. Evernic acid bound to allosteric sites on the protein surface of FAS-II enzymes and produced antibacterial and antiplasmodial effects. Evernic acid inhibited PfFabZ and PfFabI with the IC50 values of 10.7 and 36.1 μM, respectively. Evernic acid showed low efficacy against the malaria parasite P. berghei with an IC50 of 77.3 μM [1].
