Produktinformation

• Name: Decarestrictine A1
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Decarestrictine A1 is a microbial secondary metabolite, which is derived from species of the actinomycete bacteria. This compound is characterized by its ability to inhibit the enzyme aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, crucial for protein synthesis in cells. The mode of action involves disrupting the synthesis of aminoacyl-tRNAs, thereby inhibiting the translation process essential for protein production. This biochemical interference primarily manifests as antifungal activity, making Decarestrictine A1 of significant interest in the study of novel antifungal agents. Its applications extend to the exploration of its potential as a lead compound in the development of therapeutics against fungal infections, especially in cases where traditional antifungal drugs fail due to resistance. Experimental research focuses on both understanding the biosynthetic pathways of Decarestrictine A1 and optimizing its efficacy and specificity through structural modifications. Additionally, the compound serves as a valuable tool in biochemical research to further dissect and elucidate the mechanisms underlying protein synthesis inhibition.
