Notes: 6-Deoxy-8-O-methylrabelomycin is an anthraquinone that has been found in Pseudonocardia with antiparasitic and antibiotic activities.{51735,51734} It is active against the parasite P. berghei (IC50 = 18.5 µM) and the bacterium B. subtilis (MIC = 25 µg/ml) but does not induce cellular toxicity in HepG2 cells (IC50 = >100 µM).{51735} 6-Deoxy-8-O-methylrabelomycin is also active against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA; IC50 = 48 µg/ml) and reduces MRSA production of the virulence factor staphyloxanthin (IC50 = 6 µg/ml).{51734}
