Antimicrobiens

Herbicidin K is a naturally derived herbicide, known for its biological origin from microbial fermentation processes. It is primarily sourced from certain strains of Streptomyces, a genus of Gram-positive bacteria notable for their diverse secondary metabolites. The mode of action of Herbicidin K involves the inhibition of key enzymatic pathways within target plants, leading to the disruption of cellular functions and ultimately plant death. This selectivity is particularly effective against broadleaf weeds, providing a targeted approach to weed management.

Carbomycin is a macrolide antibiotic, which is derived from the bacterium Streptomyces halstedii. This antibiotic functions by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit, thereby inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Through this mechanism, carbomycin effectively disrupts the growth and replication of susceptible bacterial strains, making it a potent tool in combating bacterial infections.

iso-Nystatin is an antifungal compound, which is derived from the bacterium *Streptomyces noursei*. This specific strain of actinobacteria produces polyene macrolide antifungals, and iso-Nystatin is a derivative that exhibits similar bioactivity as its parent compound, Nystatin. Its mode of action is based on binding ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes. This binding disrupts the membrane's structural integrity, inducing pore formation, which leads to ion leakage and ultimately cell lysis and fungal cell death.

STAADIUM™ GlucuroniZide is a targeted inhibitor of glucuronidase-producing bacteria, which is activated by E. coli-specific glucuronidase enzyme. Glucuronidases are enzymes catalysing the cleavage of complex carbohydrates and E. coli is a well-known producer. In complex cultures, E. coli strains often outcompete bacteria that present at lower titre and STAADIUM™ GlucuroniZide can help to selectively reduce the growth of E. coli. STAADIUM™ GlucuroniZide can be used in microbiome studies, food control, environmental safety, hygiene, and clinical diagnostics. More details can be found in the application notes document.

Inhibitor of protein synthesis; glycylcycline class

Tenofovir diphosphate is an antiviral compound, which is a key active metabolite derived from the prodrugs tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and tenofovir alafenamide, both originating from chemical synthesis. Its mode of action involves inhibiting the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase by competing with the natural substrate, deoxyadenosine 5’-triphosphate, and causing chain termination after incorporation into viral DNA. This mechanism effectively prevents the replication of retroviral DNA, thus halting the progression of the infection.

Dicloxacillin is a penicillin antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections of the gastrointestinal tract, skin, and urinary tract. It binds to the penicillin-binding proteins in bacterial cell walls by competitive inhibition. Dicloxacillin inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the enzyme cell wall synthesis that is required for cell wall biosynthesis, inhibiting protein synthesis and cell division. This drug also has a toxic effect on respiratory system cells, which may be due to its ability to induce apoptosis. Dicloxacillin sodium salt is available as tablets for oral administration or as an intravenous solution for injection. It can interact with other drugs, such as benzalkonium chloride and matrix effect; it also has analytical methods such as chromatographic analysis and rate constant.

8-Methylpyrido[2,3-d]pyridazin-5(6H)-one is a heterocyclic compound used in the field of medicinal chemistry. This compound is synthesized through complex organic reactions involving pyridazine and pyridine derivatives. As a molecule, its primary mode of action involves interactions with specific biochemical pathways, potentially influencing enzymatic activity or receptor bindings, leading to modulation of biological activities.

Abacavir sulfate is a pharmaceutical compound classified as a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), which is derived from synthetic sources. Its mode of action involves the inhibition of the reverse transcriptase enzyme, essential for the replication of HIV. By incorporating itself into the viral DNA chain during replication, Abacavir effectively halts the process, preventing further multiplication of the virus within the host cells.

This antiretroviral medication is primarily used in the management and treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infections. Abacavir sulfate is a critical component in highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), contributing to the reduction of viral load, enhancing immune function, and improving the long-term clinical outcomes in patients living with HIV. Its application in combination therapies has been instrumental in transforming HIV from a fatal disease into a manageable chronic condition.

Phleomycin is an antibiotic, which is derived from the bacterium *Streptomyces verticillus*. Its mode of action involves binding to DNA and inducing breaks by generating free radicals in the presence of oxygen and ferrous ions, leading to cell death. Phleomycin is prominently used in molecular biology applications as a selective agent in the generation of stable transfectants. It is particularly effective in selecting for cells that have integrated vectors conferring resistance, such as the Sh ble gene used in yeast, plant, and mammalian cell systems. Due to its potent DNA-cleaving ability, Phleomycin is valuable in studies requiring stringent selection pressure. Researchers commonly utilize it in experiments focusing on genetic modification and cellular resistance development.

Ganciclovir is an antiviral agent specifically designed for culture media use. It is a synthetic analogue of 2'-deoxy-guanosine, derived from nucleoside compounds, and operates primarily by inhibiting the replication of viral DNA. Its mode of action involves selective phosphorylation by viral kinases, which converts it into ganciclovir triphosphate, a potent inhibitor of viral DNA polymerase, ultimately preventing viral DNA synthesis.

Perfluorodecanephosphonic acid is a fluorinated organic compound, which is synthesized through the controlled polymerization of fluorinated precursors. It is characterized by its unique perfluorinated alkyl chain and a phosphonic acid group, providing a distinctive combination of hydrophobic and functional properties. Its mode of action involves the strong adsorption onto surfaces through the phosphonic acid moiety, allowing the formation of highly stable self-assembled monolayers (SAMs).

Mecillinam is a beta-lactam antibiotic specifically designed for use in culture media. It is derived from the amidinopenicillin family, featuring a unique ability to interfere with bacterial cell wall synthesis. Its mode of action involves inhibiting penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP2), an essential enzyme for cell wall elongation and maintenance in Gram-negative bacteria. This targeted inhibition results in the formation of spherical cells and subsequent cell lysis.

Aminosidine is a nucleoside analogue that inhibits the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and the integrase, which are enzymes involved in viral DNA synthesis. Aminosidine is active against Leishmania spp., but not against bacteria. Aminosidine has been shown to be effective in experimental models of human bowel disease and in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. It was also found to be active against wild-type strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1, but not resistant mutants. The mechanism of action is the inhibition of cellular mitochondrial membrane potential.

Butirosin disulfate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, which is derived from a strain of *Bacillus circulans*. Its primary mode of action involves binding to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, leading to the inhibition of protein synthesis. This interaction results in the misreading of mRNA, ultimately causing bactericidal effects.
