Description

VX-950 is an antibacterial agent that inhibits the synthesis of bacterial protein. It binds to a small molecule, benzimidazol-2-ylmethylamine, which reduces the production of proteins in the bacterial cell by inhibiting the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase. VX-950 has been shown to be effective against a number of pathogens including fungi and bacteria. VX-950 has also been shown to bind to two ligands, imidazolines and diazepinones, that are found in mammalian tissue. This binding allows it to reduce the production of proteins in hepatocytes as well as inhibit growth in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain.
