Herbimycin A is an antibiotic and a selective inhibitor of non-receptor tyrosine kinases [1].
Antibiotics are a type of antimicrobial used in the treatment of bacterial infection. Non-receptor tyrosine kinases (nRTKs) are cytoplasmic enzymes and catalyse the transfer of a phosphate group from a nucleoside triphosphate donor to tyrosine residues in proteins.
Herbimycin A is a selective non-receptor tyrosine kinases inhibitor. Herbimycin A bound to the reactive SH domains of p60v-src and p210BCR-ABL and inactivated their activity [1].
In a retinopathy prematurity rat model, Herbimycin A inhibited capillary tube formation and bovine retinal microvascular endothelial cell proliferation induced by vascular endothelial growth factor in a dose-dependent way. Also, Herbimycin A reduced pre-retinal neovascularization by 63% and 41% in oxygen-treated rats and herbimycin-injected eyes, respectively [2]. In rats exposed to heat stress, Herbimycin A exhibited thermotolerance and significantly reduced apoptosis of hepatocytes. Also, Herbimycin A inhibited caspase-3 activation [3].
