The mode of action of gilvocarcins was studied. Gilvocarcins V, M and A possessed antibacterial activities decreasing in that order. Gilvocarcin V inhibited DNA synthesis in Bacillus subtilis through strong interaction with DNA and resulting cleavage. Gilvocarcin M showed interaction with DNA and a small change in DNA mobility upon electrophoresis in agarose gel, while gilvocarcin A showed no interaction with DNA, thus reflecting their relative biological activities.
对吉尔vocarcins的作用方式进行了研究。吉尔vocarcins V、M和A具有抗菌活性,其活性依次降低。吉尔vocarcin V通过与DNA的强烈相互作用并导致其裂解来抑制枯草芽孢杆菌中的DNA合成。吉尔vocarcin M显示出与DNA的相互作用,并且在琼脂糖凝胶电泳时DNA迁移率有微小变化,而吉尔vocarcin A未显示出与DNA的相互作用,从而反映了它们相对的生物学活性。
