Summary
Concanamycin B is a V-ATPase–specific macrolide inhibitor that blocks lysosomal acidification.
Details
Concanamycin B is an 18-membered macrolide antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces diastatochromogenes and belongs to the concanamycin/folimycin family. It specifically inhibits vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase), thereby preventing ATP-dependent acidification of endosomes, lysosomes, and osteoclastic resorption lacunae. Through inhibition of organelle acidification, concanamycin B suppresses antigen presentation via MHC class II and blocks osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. It is widely used as a mechanistic probe to study vesicular trafficking, receptor recycling, lysosomal function, and pH-dependent cellular processes.
