Deoxypheganomycin D is a specific inhibitor of mycobacteria thaat inhibits the growth in vitro of Mycobacterium smegmatis ATCC 607 (M. 607) bacteriostatically at concentrations as high as 7 X 10(-5) M. | [Uses]
Deoxypheganomycin D is a specific antimycobacterial inhibitor with no cross-resistance to other antibiotics such as Paromomycin (HY-B0956), Capreomycin (HY-P3270), Viomycin (HY-A0155), Streptothricin (HY-129065), Kanamycin (HY-16566), and Streptomycin (HY-B1906). Deoxypheganomycin D (28 μM) partially inhibits the growth of Mycobacterium 607, with no significant inhibitory effects on DNA, RNA, or protein synthesis. Deoxypheganomycin D (7 μM) affects leucine influx, not thymidine, and has the opposite effect on efflux. The effects of Deoxypheganomycin D may be related to cell membrane and specific mycobacterial lipid components. | [References]
