HIDE SMILES / InChI
Fusaric acid (J-butylpicolinic acid) is a fungal toxin with low to moderate toxicity synthesized by some Fusurium species which cause infections in cereal grains and other agricultural commodities. It may potentiate the effects of other Fusurium toxins. Fusaric acid is a potent inhibitor of DNA synthesis. Fusaric acid has potent anti-proliferative activity in vitro on various normal and cancer cell lines and suggest that it exhibits some cytotoxic specificity for growing and confluent colorectal adenocarcinoma and mammary adenocarcinoma cell lines. Fusaric acid is known as a potent dopamine-beta-hydroxylase inhibitor of high specificity. Fusaric acid calcium salt elicited the hypotensive response primarily through the reduction of total peripheral vascular resistance index.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: The effect of fusaric acid 150-450 mg daily on tardive dyskinesia and mental state was studied in 15 chronic psychogeriatric patients. The patient's previous drug treatment was maintained unchanged during the experiment. Fusaric acid significantly relieved oro-facial dyskinesia, tremor, and rigidity, and it improved the mental state of the patients (BPRS).

Originator

Curator's Comment: Fusaric acid (5-butylpicolinic acid) was first discovered during the laboratory culture of Fusarium heterosporum Nees by Yabuta et al.

Intravenous administration of fusaric acid at a dose of 10-30 mg/kg to anesthestized dogs brought about an immediate and dose-dependent decline in blood pressure, increase in heart rate, rise in superior mesenteric arterial blood flow, fall in femoral arterial blood flow and stimulation of respiration.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
Within 24 h of exposure to 500 uM fusaric acid, most of the human colon adenocarcinoma LoVo cells were blocked at random in the cell cycle and approximately 80% of the cells were dead after 30 h. When cultured human normal WI-38 fibroblasts were exposed to 500 uM fusaric acid (5-butylpicolinic acid), cell proliferation ceases.
