Antimicrobici

Casein is a phosphoprotein, which is derived from milk. It originates primarily from cow's milk, where it constitutes about 80% of the total protein content. The mode of action for casein involves its ability to form a gel or clot in the stomach, which makes it highly efficient in nutrient delivery, especially the slow release of amino acids. This process is facilitated by its unique structural features, such as the presence of multiple phosphoryl groups that can bind calcium ions.

Sebuthylazine-2-hydroxy is a selective pre-emergent herbicide, which is a derivative of the sym-triazine compound family synthesized through chemical processes. It functions primarily as a soil-acting agent that inhibits photosynthesis by binding to the D1 protein in the photosystem II complex, thereby disrupting the electron transport chain. This biochemical action effectively curtails the growth of susceptible weed species by preventing their development, particularly annual grasses and broadleaf weeds.

Halauxifen is a synthetic herbicide, which is a product of chemical synthesis used in agricultural practices. Derived from advanced chemical research and development, its primary source is a laboratory setting where it is engineered to exhibit specific properties for plant management.

Bacitracin B1 is a polypeptide antibiotic and is used for the treatment of bacterial infections. Its mode of action is similar to bacitracin.

Antibacterial used in treatment of UTI and respiratory tract infections

Maduramicin ammonium is an anticoccidial agent with action on protozoal parasites by disrupting ion gradients and is used for preventing coccidiosis in poultry.

Pefloxacin is a mesylate prodrug that is converted to pefloxacin in the body. The optimum concentration for pefloxacin is 2 µg/mL, and it has been shown to be active against gram-positive bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, group A beta-hemolytic streptococci, and Enterococcus faecalis. Pefloxacin has also been shown to inhibit the growth of human leukemia cells (HL-60) and drug interactions have been documented with this drug. Pefloxacin is not active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Mycobacterium avium complex.

Inhibitor of DNA synthesis; fluoroquinolone class

β-lactam antibiotic of penicillin subclass, which inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by targeting the proteoglycan synthesis. Cloxacillin has a narrow spectrum of action and is effective against Gram-positive organisms. Cloxacillin is resistant to the action of β-lactamase and therefore preferentially used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.

Netropsin dihydrochloride is a pyrrole-amidine antibiotic with action on AT-rich sequences of DNA to inhibit replication and is used for research on DNA-binding properties and antiviral activity.

Inhibitor of protein synthesis; aminoglycoside

Ciprofloxacinhydrochloride, the hydrochloride salt form of ciprofloxacin is afluoroquinolone that exerts its antibacterial activity by inhibiting DNK gyrase (topoisomerase II) which inhibits relaxation of supercoiled DNA and promotes breakage of double-stranded DNA. Also, ciprofloxacine inhibits cytochrome P450 CYP1A2. Ciprofloxacine is a broad spectrum antibiotic,effective against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria: Enterobacteriaceae, H. influenzae, N. gonorrhoeae, Campylobacter spp and Pseudomonas with clinical application for complicated urinary tract infections, respiratory infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains inpatients with cystic fibrosis, invasive otitis externa caused by P. aeruginosa, chronic osteomyelitis caused by gram negative organisms, eradication of Salmonella, gonorrhoea, bacterial prostatitis, cervicitis, anthrax.

Gramicidin S TFA salt is a cyclic peptide antibiotic, which is originally derived from the soil bacterium Bacillus brevis. Its mode of action involves disrupting bacterial cell membranes by integrating into the lipid bilayer, which affects membrane integrity and leads to cell lysis. The unique cyclic dodecapeptide structure allows Gramicidin S to interact specifically with membrane lipids, forming pores that increase permeability and ion flux.In terms of applications, Gramicidin S is primarily used in research settings for studying membrane dynamics and permeability. Its potent antibiotic activity makes it a valuable compound in bacteriological studies, particularly for investigating multi-drug resistance mechanisms and testing novel antimicrobial strategies. Additionally, due to its peptide nature, it serves as a model compound for the design of synthetic analogs aimed at overcoming bacterial resistance.

Emodepside is a cyclooctadepsipeptide anthelmintic with action on latrophilin receptors in nematodes and is used for treating parasitic infections in animals.

Inhibits chaperone protein HSP90; anti-proliferative; antineoplastic
