Product Information

• Name: Macrocalin A
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Macrocalin A is an antibiotic, which is derived from Streptomyces bacteria with bactericidal activity. The source of this compound, Streptomyces, is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria known for its rich production of bioactive secondary metabolites. The mode of action of Macrocalin A involves inhibition of cell wall synthesis in target bacteria, specifically by binding to peptidoglycan precursors, thus preventing their incorporation into the cell wall structure. This results in cell lysis and ultimately, bacterial death.
