Maduramicin is a polyether ionophore antibiotic that has been found in Nocardia species. It selectively binds to potassium, rubidium, sodium, lithium, and cesium ions over divalent cations. Maduramicin exhibits activity against Gram-positive bacteria with MICs ranging from 0.9 to 125 µg/ml, but it is not active against Gram-negative bacteria (MICs >1,000 µg/ml) or fungi (MICs 250->1,000 µg/ml) .
In the veterinary field, Maduramicin is used as an anticoccidial drug to treat coccidiosis in chickens. It is effective in reducing the severity of lesions and protecting chicks against mortality in a model of coccidiosis induced by E. tenella. Formulations containing Maduramicin are administered at 5-10 ppm in the diet .
Recent research has discovered that Maduramicin can also act as a novel glycosylation modulator for mammalian fed-batch and steady-state perfusion processes. It has been found to selectively increase M5 glycans of monoclonal antibody (mAb) products. This discovery expands the current glycosylation modulating toolbox for biotherapeutics, making Maduramicin a universal tool for both fed-batch and continuous manufacturing processes.
