Chlortetracycline is a tetracycline antibiotic, which is derived from the bacterium *Streptomyces aureofaciens*. It functions by inhibiting protein synthesis through binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, thereby preventing the attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex. This mechanism effectively impedes the growth and replication of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Inhibitor of protein synthesis; streptogramin

N-Desisobutyl-N-propyl rifabutin is a synthetic derivative of rifabutin, which is an antibiotic belonging to the rifamycin class. This compound is sourced from modifications of the parent molecule rifabutin, itself derived from the rifamycin family produced by the bacterium Amycolatopsis, traditionally used for its antimicrobial properties. The mode of action involves the inhibition of bacterial RNA polymerase, effectively preventing the transcription process necessary for bacterial replication and protein synthesis. This disruption of RNA synthesis provides potent antimicrobial activity.

Clarithromycin-13CD3 is an isotopically labeled macrolide antibiotic, which is synthesized to include deuterium (D) and carbon-13 (^13C) in its molecular structure. This modified compound serves as a stable isotope-labeled standard, primarily sourced from chemical synthesis. The incorporation of these isotopes differentiates it from the naturally occurring antibiotic, enabling its use in precise analytical studies.

Nigericin transports cations across the membrane of the cell and it is used to study anion transport. It can be used as a buffer to control pH value inside of the cell.

(+)-Madindoline A is a chemical substance that inhibits the growth of cancer cells. It has been shown to inhibit colon cancer cell proliferation and induce apoptosis by inhibiting signal pathways and suppressing inflammatory responses. (+)-Madindoline A is an experimental model for the study of bowel disease and inflammatory diseases, as it can be used to treat both bowel disease and inflammatory diseases. It also has inhibitory effects on the production of proinflammatory cytokines in human protein cells and natural compounds in experimental models. (+)-Madindoline A is found in small amounts in food compositions such as apples, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, garlic, leeks, lettuce, onions, peas, peppers, potatoes and tomatoes.

Erythromycin derivative

Cefquinome sulfate is a cephalosporin antibiotic, which is a synthetic, broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. It is derived from the beta-lactam family, specifically designed to combat Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. The mode of action involves inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It achieves this by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) within the bacterial cell wall, ultimately leading to cell lysis and death due to the interruption of necessary cell wall components.

Dequalinium chloride is a novel, broad spectrum antimicrobial agent with a mechanism of action that inhibits the mitochondria-dependent respiratory chain. Studies have shown that it inhibits the growth of resistant microorganisms in cell-based experiments and in bacterial infections. Dequalinium chloride also has cytopathic effects on thp-1 cells, which are specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In addition to inhibiting mitochondria-dependent respiration, this compound also increases acetylcholine receptor sensitivity in A549 lung cancer cells. Dequalinium chloride is a quaternary ammonium cation and has been shown to be effective against clinical isolates and inhibitory concentrations of a variety of virus species, including human rhinovirus (HRV) and Coxsackie virus type B4 (CoxB4).
