| Linear/ Cyclic | Macrocyclic |
| Length | 13 |
| Chirality | L |
| Nature | NA |
| Source | Natural |
| Origin | Produced by a genetically distinct Nonomuraea species, strain MJM5123. |
| Species | Mycobacterium tuberculosis |
| Strain | Mycobacterium tuberculosis Erdman (ATCC 35801) |
| Inhibition Concentartion | MIC = 0.16 μM |
| In vitro/In vivo | Both |
| Cell Line | J774.1 macrophage cell line |
| Inhibition Concentartion | 0.12 μM, ecumicin reduced M. tuberculosis viabilities in J774 macrophages by 2 x log10 |
| Cytotoxicity | >63 μM for J774.1 cells |
| In vivo Model | Female BALB/c mice, male CD-1 mice |
| Lethal Dose | 20 mg/kg causes reductions in M. tuberculosis lung |
| Immune Response | NA |
| Mechanism of Action | Ecumicin markedly enhanced the ATPase activity of wild-type (WT) ClpC1 but prevented activation of proteolysis by ClpC1. so toxic proteins which are normally degraded by the ClpC1P1P2 complex, accumulate in the presence of ecumicin |
| Target | ClpC1 ATPase complex |
| Combination Therapy | Ecumicin encapsulated in micelles distributes to mouse lung tissue |
| Other Activities | NA |
