• Description: 4-Epi-daunosamine is a glycopeptide antibiotic that is used to treat infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. It binds to the cell wall of these bacteria and inhibits the synthesis of new cell walls. This causes the cells to burst and die, which leads to bacterial death. 4-Epi-daunosamine has been shown to be effective against animal pathogens such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Clostridium perfringens. 4-Epi-daunosamine also has a low level of toxicity in humans, but can cause adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting if taken in large doses.
