Limocrocin
Limochromin is a pigment produced by Streptomyces limosus that strongly inhibits the reverse transcriptase of avian myeloid leukemia virus (AMV) . The inhibitory activity of limochromin is not affected by changes in the concentration of template-primer, substrate or carrier protein, but its inhibitory effect is significantly reduced when the concentration of AMV reverse transcriptase increases. Limochromin can be used to develop antiviral treatments[1].
