Structure of the bacterial cell wall, the metabolic pathway for the biosynthesis of cell wall, and various antibiotics affecting various stages of cell wall synthesis are presented. Mechanisms of action of the antibiotics and the mechanisms of resistance development to the antibiotics are discussed. ...
15, 16 It was not until 1995 that the 2-(morpholin-4-yl)ethyl ester of mycophenolic acid (a prodrug of 1) was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, although not as an antibacterial drug but rather as an immunosuppressant to prevent transplant rejection (through a mechanism ...
155and our group.156,157,158The total synthesis of vancomycin itself was achieved in 1999 by our group.159The mechanism of bacteriostatic action of vancomycin resembles that of theβ-lactams in that it interferes with the construction of the bacterial cell wall. It exerts its disruptive activity...

complex process that starts with the physical interaction of the molecule and its specific targets and involves biochemical, molecular, and structural changes, acting on multiple cellular targets such as: 1) DNA replication, 2) RNA synthesis, 3) cell wall synthesis, and 4) protein synthesis (Fig...

Similar to but distinct from penicillins, glycopeptides prevent the formation of cross-links in the peptidoglycan cell wall. While penicillinsirreversibly and competitively inhibit DD-transpeptidase, glycopeptides bind to theproteins in the cell wallthemselves to prevent DD-transpeptidase from binding. ...
Beta-lactam antibiotics are a class of broad-spectrum antibiotics, consisting of all antibiotic agents that contain a beta-lactam ring in their molecular structures. These antibiotics function through the inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Follo...
Nistatin and levorin are prescribed to prevent and treat this disease. Side effects sometimes result from antibiotic therapy. The prolonged administration of large doses of penicillin has a toxic effect on the central nervous system, streptomycin affects the acoustic nerve, and so on. These ...
