Boromycin is a Boron-containing macrolide antibiotic with many functions that includes antibacterial, antiprotozoal (Plasmodium, Babesia), anti-HIV compound, Ca2+ homeostasis modulator, potentiator of bleomycin-induced anti-tumor activity and is used as a chiral selector in capillary electrophoresis. The incorporation of boron into its molecular structure gives boromycin distinctive chemical and biological properties. The presence of boron is for its biological activity, as it forms a complex with cell membrane components, disrupting cellular processes. Boromycin′s mechanism of action is primarily targeting the cell membrane′s ion transport processes. It has a high affinity for potassium ions, interfering with the ion gradients essential for cellular homeostasis.
