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.

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

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.

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.

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 (Rotersept) is a biguanide compound used as an antiseptic agent with topical antibacterial activity. Chlorhexidine is positively charged and reacts with the negatively charged microbial cell surface, thereby destroying the integrity of the cell membrane. Subsequently, chlorhexidine penetrates into the cell and causes leakage of intracellular components leading to cell death. Since gram-positive bacteria are more negatively charged, they are more sensitive to this agent.

Chlorhexidine dihydrochloride (NSC-185) is a disinfectant and topical anti-infective agent used also as mouthwash to prevent oral plaque.

Chlorhexidine digluconate is a broad-spectrum antiseptic and disinfectant with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, inhibits both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, induces necrosis and apoptosis, and can be used in the study of bacterial infections.

Chlorhexidine diacetate (Bactigras) is a disinfectant and topical anti-infective agent used also as mouthwash to prevent oral plaque.
