Product Information
K-252A is an antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of bacteria. It binds to the response element in the promoter region of genes and blocks gene transcription, thereby preventing protein synthesis. K-252A has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria that are resistant to many other antibiotics, including ampicillin, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, erythromycin, gentamicin and kanamycin. This drug also induces significant up-regulation of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDE) and cytosolic Ca2+ in vitro. K-252A has been shown to cause neuronal death in vitro by inhibiting axonal growth. K-252A also inhibits leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) from binding to its receptor on mouse lymphocytes.
