bacteriostatic

Azelaic acid (Anchoic acid) is a component of hair and skin conditioners and is produced by the ozonolysis of oleic acid. Azelaic acid has bacteriostatic activity against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis by inhibiting protoprotein synthesis in microbial cells. Azelaic acid also has the ability to inhibit pigmentation due to its free radical scavenging action.

Fusidic acid (Fusidine) is an antibiotic isolated from the fermentation broth of Fusidium coccineum.

Clofoctol is a bacteriostatic antibiotic with activity against Gram-positive bacteria, used in the treatment of upper and lower respiratory tract infections.

(±)-1,2-Propanediol is an aliphatic alcohol that has a variety of roles as a preservative and antifreeze, and has a wide range of applications in the food industry and skin care industry. (±)-1,2-Propanediol is a natural bacteriostatic agent that inhibits the growth and multiplication of bacteria to a certain extent.

Fusidic acid sodium salt (SQ-16360) is a sodium salt form of fusidic acid, a bacteriostatic antibiotic derived from the fungus Fusidium coccineum and used as a topical medication to treat skin infections.

Astragalin (Kaempferol 3-O-glucoside) is a biologically active natural flavonoid. It has a variety of pharmacological properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, neuroprotective, and cardioprotective properties.

Angustifoline hydrochloride, an alkaloid derived from Lupinus angustifolius L. extract, demonstrates antimicrobial efficacy, potentially exhibiting bacteriostatic effects against S. aureus, B. subtilis, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and B. thuringiensis [1].

Bostrycin, an anthraquinone derived from B. alpestre, exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities including antibacterial, antiproliferative, and phytotoxic effects. This compound demonstrates efficacy against Gram-positive bacteria like methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), M. tuberculosis, and C. botulinum. Additionally, Bostrycin shows antiproliferative action against A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells, particularly by arresting the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase and triggering apoptosis within a concentration range of 10 to 30 µM. As a phytotoxin, it causes necrosis in water hyacinth leaves at approximately 7 µg/ml. Furthermore, Bostrycin serves as a protein immobilization cross-linking agent, managing to preserve its bacteriostatic properties when affixed to nonwoven polypropylene fabric.

Ethambutol dihydrochloride (CL40881) is a bacteriostatic antimycobacterial agent, which obstructs the formation of cell wall by inhibiting arabinosyl transferases.

Levomecol, a broad-spectrum antibiotic derived from Streptomyces venezuelae, comprises Chloramphenicol and Methyluracil. It exerts its bacteriostatic effect by binding to the bacterial ribosome, inhibiting protein synthesis by blocking peptidyl transferase.

Ethionamide (2-ethylthioisonicotinamide) is a nicotinamide derivative, with antibacterial activity, used to treat tuberculosis. Although the exact mechanism of action of ethionamide is unknown, it may inhibit the synthesis of mycolic acid, a saturated fatty acid found in the bacterial cell wall, thereby inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. This eventually leads to bacterial cell wall disruption and cell lysis. Ethionamide may be bacteriostatic or bactericidal in action, depending on the concentration of the drug at the site of infection and the susceptibility of the organism involved.

Chlortetracycline Hydrochloride is a tetracycline with broad-spectrum antibacterial and antiprotozoal activity. Chlortetracycline hydrochloride (Isphamycin) is bacteriostatic and inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, thereby preventing the addition of amino acids to the growing peptide chain. This tetracycline is active against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms, spirochetes, rickettsial species, certain protozoa and Mycoplasma and Chlamydia organisms.

Clindamycin (Sobelin) dissociates peptidyl-tRNA from the bacterial ribosome, thereby disrupting bacterial protein synthesis. Clindamycin is a semisynthetic broad-spectrum antibiotic produced by chemical modification of the parent compound lincomycin.

Scabertopin is a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Gentiana scabra with anticancer and bacteriostatic activities.
