Mechanism of action The peptidoglycan of all bacterial cell walls, including the mycobacteria, is made of linear chains of alternating N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramine that are cross-linked by peptide bridges, of which D-alanine is a key component. Cycloserine is an analog of D-alanine ...
The mechanism of the action of stereoisomers of cycloserine on bacterial cellsA study was made of the effect produced by D- and D,L-cycloserine on the activity of alanine-glutamate-transaminase ofB. colipreparations treated with acetone, and on nitrogen assimilation, protein synthesis andB. coli...

DCS, a structural analog of d-alanine, binds to and inactivates two essential enzymes involved in peptidoglycan biosynthesis, alanine racemase (Alr) and d-Ala:d-Ala ligase. Inactivation of Alr is thought to proceed via a mechanism-based irreversible route, forming an adduct with the pyridoxal ...
By a combination of structural, chemical and mechanistic studies here we show that the inhibition of D-alanine:D-alanine ligase by the antibiotic D-cycloserine proceeds via a distinct phosphorylated form of the drug. This mechanistic insight reveals a bimodal mechanism of action for a single ...
Mechanism of d-Cycloserine Action: Alanine Racemase from Escherichia coli W The antibiotic d-cycloserine is an effective inhibitor of alanine racemase. The lack of inhibition by l-cycloserine of alanine racemase from Staphylococcus aureus led Roze and Strominger to formulate the cycloserine hypothesis....
On the other site, it needs to be clarified, if the postulated mechanism for d-cycloserine to act as a partial agonist at the glycine site of the NMDA receptor could be mainly due to KAT's inhibition. We propose that this mechanism(s) might play a role in the improvement of memory, ...

The negative data obtained with d-cycloserine in the model of entorhinal cortex lesions-induced cognitive deficits could be taken as a hint that it is probably not suitable for the symptomatological therapy of Alzheimer's disease. The mechanism of positive action of aniracetam cannot be explained ...
