Herbimycin A, a benzoquinoid ansamycin antibiotic, is produced by the actinomycetes organism Streptomyces hygroscopicus and has antiparasite and antineoplastic properties. Herbimycin A irreversibly and selectively inhibits tyrosine kinases by reacting with thiol groups. Herbimycin A inhibits c-Abl, HSP 90, c-Src, c-Yes (Yes), Fes (Fps), Ros, and EGFR (ErbB) oncogene products and inhibits thrombin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C. Herbimycin A also inhibits platelet derived growth factor induced phospholipase D activation. Herbimycin A is an angiogenesis inhibitor and has potent herbicidal activity against most mono- and di-cotyledenous plants, especially against Cyperus microiria STEUD. Oryza sativa shows strong resistance to herbimycin.
