Description

Dithizone is an organosulfur compound that inhibits the growth of bacteria by inhibiting protein synthesis. It can be used as an optical sensor for detecting bacterial infections, and has been shown to have synergistic effects with other antibiotics such as erythromycin against Gram-positive bacteria. Dithizone binds to the ribosome and prevents the formation of peptide bonds, preventing protein synthesis and leading to cell death. This antibiotic also has a low toxicity for humans, which may be due to its ability to inhibit human plasma enzymes such as group P2.
