Description:Torularhodin is a natural carotenoid that has been shown to be an inducer of apoptosis. It has pro-apoptotic properties and induces cell death in cancer cells by altering the mitochondrial membrane potential, leading to inhibition of mitochondrial respiration, ATP production, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Torularhodin also inhibits polyene antibiotics such as erythromycin and tetracycline. Torularhodin binds to the bacterial cell surface without entering the cell, causing damage to the cellular membrane by irreversibly reacting with lipids. This causes a loss of cytoplasmic proteins and leakage of intracellular contents from the cell, leading to lysis of the bacteria. Torularhodin also binds to DNA polymerase, inhibiting its activity.
