Antimicrobianos

Ribocil B is an analog of riboflavin, functioning as a synthetic antibiotic. It is derived from chemical synthesis, designed to mimic the structure of natural riboflavin analogs which are crucial for bacterial growth. Ribocil B acts by specifically inhibiting riboswitches, a type of non-coding RNA that regulates gene expression in response to small molecules. This inhibition disrupts RNA synthesis in bacteria by targeting the flavin mononucleotide (FMN) riboswitch.

Clofoctol is an antibacterial agent, which is derived from synthetic origins, specifically designed for therapeutic applications in bacterial infections. Its mode of action involves inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby preventing the growth and proliferation of harmful bacteria. This compound is particularly effective against Gram-positive bacteria.

Cefluprenam is a cephalosporin antibiotic, which is a synthetic derivative of the fungus Cephalosporium. It functions by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, effectively disrupting the peptidoglycan cross-linking process essential for bacterial structural integrity. This inhibition leads to cell lysis and ultimately bacterial death.

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.

Vicriviroc is an investigational pharmaceutical compound, specifically classified as an HIV entry inhibitor. It originates from a synthetic source, designed to target the CCR5 co-receptor on human immune cells. The mode of action involves blocking this co-receptor, thereby preventing the HIV virus from binding and fusing with the host cell membrane. This inhibition effectively obstructs the virus's ability to enter and infect the host cells, particularly those within the chemokine receptor family.

Symetine is a synthetic peptide-based compound, which is a highly selective agonist of the adenosine A2A receptor. This receptor is coupled to G-proteins mainly associated with activating adenylate cyclase, leading to an increase in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels within the cell. Symetine binds with high affinity to these receptors, inducing a conformational change that facilitates the downstream signaling pathways associated with this receptor family.

9-(Tetrahydro-5-methyl-2-furyl)adenine is a synthetic cytokinin, which is a type of plant growth regulator. This compound is derived from chemical synthesis, rather than extraction from natural sources. The mode of action involves promoting cell division and differentiation in plant tissues, primarily by enhancing the synthesis of proteins crucial for growth and development.

Filipin III is a polyene macrolide antibiotic, which is extracted from Streptomyces filipinensis. Known for its unique mode of action, Filipin III interferes with cholesterol-rich membranes by binding to ergosterol and cholesterol. This interaction disrupts the membrane structure, altering membrane permeability and ultimately affecting cell viability.
