Borrelidin is an 18-membered polyketide macrolide derived from several Streptomyces species. First discovered in 1949 from Streptomyces rochei,[1] Borrelidin shows antibacterial activity by acting as an inhibitor of threonyl-tRNA synthetase and features a nitrile moiety, a unique functionality in natural products.[2],[3] Borrelidin also exhibits potent angiogenesis inhibition, which was shown in a rat aorta matrix model.[4] Other studies have been performed to show that low concentrations of borrelidin can suppress growth and induce apoptosis in malignant acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells.[5] Borredlidin's antimalarial activity has also been shown in vitro and in vivo.[6]
