Descrição

Descrição geral

Rhodamine B labeled Ramoplanin is a fluorescent derivative of Ramoplanin, with a similar mode of action as Ramoplanin. It allows fluorescent labeling of Gram-positive bacteria and their detection by common fluorescent instruments. Ramoplanin is a lipoglycodepsipeptide antibiotic that is produced by the fermentation of Actinoplanes species. Fluorescent antibiotics are obtained by a synthetic conjugation of an antibiotic to a fluorophore.

Aplicação

Fluorescent antibiotics can be used for many applications including:

• Antimicrobial resistance research
• Bacterial visualization and imaging
• Parent antibiotic mode of action research and new antibiotic discovery
• Toxicity studies
• Diagnosis of bacterial infections and tracking their uptake in vivo

Ações bioquímicas/fisiológicas

Ramoplanin blocks the bacterial cell wall biosynthesis by specifically binding to the first sugar of lipid I. N-Acetylmuramic acid thus interfering with peptidoglycan production.

Mode of Action: Is different from the d-Ala-d-Ala that are targeted by vancomycin and shows no cross-resistance with other glycopeptides.

Activity Spectrum: Effective against a broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive pathogens both in vitro and in vivo including Enterococci, Staphylococci, Bacilli, Streptococci, Listeria monocytogenes, and Gram-positive anaerobes such as Clostridrium difficile. However, Rhodamine B labeled Ramoplanin presents a MIC decrease in the magnitude of two to five orders in bacterial activity in comparison to the parent Ramoplanin.

Características e benefícios

High quality antibiotic suitable for mulitple research applications

Nota de análise
