General Description

Waixenicin A is a novel chemical compound isolated from a marine-derived Streptomyces sp. It is a potent inhibitor of the Gram-positive bacterial cell wall biosynthesis enzyme, undecaprenyl diphosphate synthase (UPPS). This enzyme is crucial for the production of cell wall components in bacteria, making it an attractive target for antibiotic development. Waixenicin A has shown strong inhibitory activity against a range of Gram-positive bacteria, including drug-resistant strains, and has the potential to be developed into a new class of antibiotics to combat antibiotic-resistant infections. Its unique structure and mechanism of action make it a promising candidate for further development in the fight against bacterial infections.
