Description

4-Hydroxy-7-methyl-[1,8]naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid is a compound that has been shown to be an antibacterial agent. It has been shown to selectively inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria by binding to the bacterial cell wall. 4-Hydroxy-7-methyl-[1,8]naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid binds to amino acids in the peptidoglycan layer of the bacterial cell wall and inhibits the crosslinking of these amino acids with divalent ions such as calcium and magnesium. This leads to changes in solvation structures and decreases in hydrogen bonding interactions, which reduces the stability of the peptidoglycan layer. The spectrum for this molecule is anharmonic, which means that it does not have a harmonic frequency but instead has many frequencies that are related by integer numbers. The molecule can exist in three different forms: two tautomers (keto form
