Asimicin  (Synonyms: Bullatacin)

Asimicin (Bullatacin) is antitumor acetogenin that can be isolated from the bark and seeds of the pawpaw tree, Asimina trilobal Dunal. Asimicin inhibits mitochondrial respiration through the inhibition of complex I. Asimicin shows toxicity to Aphis gossypii, mosquito larvae and mammalian^[1][2][3][4].

Asimicin 对人肿瘤细胞具有抑制作用，对 A-549 和 MCF-7 的 ED₅₀ 分别为 0.00843 和 0.852 μg/mL^[2]。
Asimicin 对秀丽隐杆线虫具有显著活性，IC₁₀₀ 值为 0.1 µg/mL^[3]。
