Beschreibung

D-Glycero-D-galacto-heptose is a sugar that has been shown to have antimicrobial properties and inhibit the growth of oral pathogens. It inhibits the enzyme glycosyltransferase, which is responsible for synthesizing D-galactosyl sugars. This inhibition prevents the formation of a substrate for the enzyme β-1,4-N acetylglucosaminyltransferase, which is necessary for bacterial cell wall synthesis. This leads to cell death as a result of impaired membrane integrity. D-Glycero-D-galacto-heptose has been shown to have inhibitory properties against both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria in vitro assays. The mechanism of action is through target enzymes such as glycosyltransferases, which are necessary for bacterial cell wall synthesis. Inhibition of these enzymes leads to cell death by impairing membrane integrity.
