Description

Biotin sulfoxide is a biotin derivative that can be used to treat a number of human pathogens. This drug has been shown to inhibit the growth of wild-type strains in vivo and in vitro, as well as human pathogens. Biotin sulfoxide is a metal chelate that binds to molybdenum in the bacterial cell wall and prevents the formation of bacterial enzymes, such as reductase and sulfoxide reductase. This binding leads to a decrease in enzyme activities, which results in decreased protein synthesis and cell division. Biotin sulfoxide also has an inhibitory effect on light signal production, which may be due to its inhibition of proteins involved in electron transport. When administered orally, this drug can accumulate in the plasma and tissues, leading to chronic effects.
