Descripción

5-Methyl-5-(pyridin-4-yl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione is a compound that is structurally related to cisplatin. It has antibacterial activity and has been found to inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli. 5-Methyl-5-(pyridin-4-yl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione has been shown to be effective against gram positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae, but not against gram negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The molecule is an inhibitor with a broad spectrum of action. It binds to the active site of bacterial DNA gyrase, which is an enzyme that maintains the integrity of bacterial DNA by preventing supercoiling. This binding prevents the formation of an antibiotic resistant complex with the enzyme cell wall synthesis that is required for cell wall biosynthesis
