Inhibitory effect on MRSA and VRE Bottromycin A2
Date:July 03 2020Web Page No:520044
Bottromycin A2 is a natural product of bottromycins isolated and purified from Streptomyces.1)

What is Bottromycin A2
Bottromycin A2 has a cyclic peptide structure and shows inhibitory activity against gram-positive bacteria. It is also reported to have low toxicity but strong antibacterial activity against drug-resistant bacteria, such as against MRSA(Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) and VRE(Vancomycin-Resistant enterococci) 2),3) . The mechanism of Bottromycin A2 is known to inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the A-site of ribosome and blocking aminoacyl-tRNA binding 4,5) . Its biosynthesis, total synthesis, derivative synthesis and their biological activities have also been studied, and several papers have been reported.
