LtaS-IN-1 is an effective inhibitor of Lipoteichoic acid synthesis in multidrug-resistant (MDR) E. faecium and by altering the cell wall morphology. LtaS-IN-1 is against Enterococcus spp 28 strains with varying MIC values ranging from 0.5 μg/mL to 64 μg/mL. LtaS-IN-1 inhibits strain E1630 and E1590 with MIC values of 0.5 μg/mL.

Antibacterialagent 256 (Compound C09) is an inhibitor of Type I signal peptidase (SPase I). It targets Gram-positive bacteria, effectively inhibiting S. aureus ATCC 29213, E. faecium QF31, E. faecalis SF23-1, and S. suis P1/7, with MIC values ranging from 1-16 μg/mL. In cancer cells HEp-2 and Caco-2, Antibacterialagent 256 exhibits cytotoxicity with CC50 values of 14.65 μg/mL and 21.93 μg/mL, respectively. Additionally, it shows hemolytic activity on mouse red blood cells with an HC50 of 13.29 μg/mL and can improve MRSA skin infections in mouse models.

Aszonapyrone A is a meroditerpene fungal metabolite that has been found in Neosartorya and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3 It inhibits the growth of MCF-7, NCI H460, and A375-C5 cancer cells (GI50s = 13.6, 11.6, and 10.2 μM, respectively).1 Aszonapyrone A is active against multidrug-resistant isolates of S. aureus, E. faecalis, and E. faecium (MICs = 8, 16, and 16 μg/ml, respectively) and inhibits S. aureus biofilm formation.2 It is also active against P. falciparum in vitro (IC50 = 1.34 μg/ml).3

Chevalone C is a meroterpenoid fungal metabolite originally isolated from E. chevalieri. It is active against M. tuberculosis H37Ra (MIC = 6.3 μg/ml) and is cytotoxic to BC1 human breast cancer cells (IC50 = 8.7 μg/ml). Chevalone C inhibits the growth of multidrug-resistant isolates of E. coli, S. aureus, and E. faecium in a disc diffusion assay when used at a concentration of 15 μg/disc. It also induces cell death in HCT116 colorectal carcinoma cells.

CAY10742 is an orally bioavailable oxadiazole antibiotic.1It is active against the Gram-positive bacteriaS. aureus,S. epidermidis,S. haemolyticus,B. cereus,B. licheniformis,E. faecalis, andE. faecium(MICs = 1-4 μg/ml), including laboratory strains and clinical isolates with varying degrees of resistance to methicillin, vancomycin, linezolid, and other antibiotics. CAY10742 (40 mg/kg) reduces the number of bacteria in mouse neutropenic thigh models of linezolid-sensitive or -resistant methicillin-resistantS. aureus(MRSA) infection. 1.Boudreau, M.A., Ding, D., Meisel, J.E., et al.Structure-activity relationship for the oxadiazole class of antibacterialsMed.

Kocurin is a thiazolyl peptide originally isolated fromK. palustrisand has antibiotic activity.1It is active against methicillin-resistantS. aureus(MRSA; MIC = 0.25 μg/ml), as well asB. subtilisandE. faeciumin a solid agar test when used at a concentration of 8 μg/ml. Kocurin is also active againstE. faecium,E. faecalis,S. epidermidis, and clinical isolates of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (MICs = 0.004-1.025 μg/ml).2In vivo, kocurin (2.5, 5, and 10 mg/ml) increases survival in a mouse model ofE. faecium-induced septicemia. It decreases the number of colony forming units (CFUs) in a mouse model of MRSA lung infection. 1.Martin, J., da S.

Chlorhexidine-d8 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of chlorhexidine by GC- or LC-MS. Chlorhexidine is a bis(biguanide) antimicrobial disinfectant and antiseptic agent. It inhibits growth of clinical methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolates (MIC90 = 4 μg/ml). It is also active against canine isolates of MRSA, methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA), methicillin-resistant S. pseudintermedius (MRSP), and methicillin-susceptible S. pseudintermedius (MSSP; MIC90s = 4, 2, 2, and 1 mg/L, respectively). Chlorhexidine inhibits growth of E. faecium strains (MICs = 1.2-19.6 μg/ml) and C. albicans (MIC = 5.15 μg/ml). It generates cations that bind to and destabilize the bacterial cell wall to induce death.6 Chlorhexidine also completely inhibits matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 when used at concentrations of 0.0001 and 0.002%, respectively, in a gelatin degradation assay. Formulations containing chlorhexidine have been used in antisept......

Glyasperin C acts as a partial estrogen antagonist, it shows tyrosinase inhibitory activity (IC (50) = 0.13 +/- 0.01 microg/mL), it could be a promising candidate in the design of skin-whitening agents. Glyasperin C shows potent anti-vancomycin-resistant

Crabrolin is a 13-peptide that can be extracted from the venom of the European hornet (Vespa crabro). Its minimum inhibitory concentration/minimum bactericidal concentration (MIC/MBC) values against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (NCTC 10788), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (NCTC 12493), and Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) (NTCC 12697) are 2/2, 16/64, and 4/8 μM, respectively.
