CAS 32988-50-4: Viomycin

Description: Viomycin is an antibiotic compound that belongs to the class of cyclic peptides, specifically derived from the bacterium Streptomyces vinaceus. It is known for its effectiveness against certain bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Viomycin exhibits a unique mechanism of action by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria, which is crucial for their growth and reproduction. The chemical structure of viomycin includes a cyclic peptide backbone with several amino acid residues, contributing to its biological activity. It is typically administered via injection due to its poor oral bioavailability. Viomycin is also characterized by its relatively low toxicity to human cells, making it a valuable option in the treatment of resistant bacterial strains. However, like many antibiotics, the potential for resistance development is a concern, necessitating careful use in clinical settings. Overall, viomycin represents an important tool in the arsenal against tuberculosis and other bacterial infections, particularly in cases where conventional treatments may fail.
