Oosporein is a mycotoxin that has been found in Beauveria and has diverse biological activities.1,2 It is cytotoxic to Sf9 and Sf21 insect cells with 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50) values of 4.23 and 10.43 µM, respectively.3 Oosporin induces lethality in day-old cockerels (LD50 = 6.12 mg/kg).4 It inhibits Na+/K+-, Ca2+-, and Mg2+-ATPase activities by 27, 52, and 100%, respectively, in equine erythrocyte ghosts when used at a concentration of 200 µg/ml.2 Oosporein inhibits herpes simplex 1 (HSV-1), but not HeLa cell or E. coli, DNA polymerase (IC50s = 75, 610, and >700 µM, respectively).5 It is active against the bacterium S. pneumoniae (MIC = 32 µg/ml) and the plant pathogenic fungus P. infestans (MIC = 16 µM).1,6
