Marine actinobacteria metabolites: unlocking new treatments for acne vulgaris.

ABSTRACT: Marine-derived actinobacteria isolated from sponge Cliona varians and soft coral Eunicea fusca were screened for antibacterial activity against acne-related bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 14990, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ATCC BAA44, and Cutibacterium acnes ATCC 6919. Cytotoxicity assays were performed on human dermal fibroblast (HDFa) and keratinocyte (HaCaT) cell lines to assess the safety profile of the extracts. Chemical characterization was conducted using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Among the extracts, six derived from Kocuria sp., Rhodococcus sp., Nocardia sp., Micrococcus sp., and Streptomyces sp. demonstrated
