General description

Chemical structure: glycopeptide
Ramoplanin is a glycolipodepsipeptide antibiotic produced by Actinoplanes sp. It is a complex of structurally related molcules, with ramoplanin A2 as the primary component. It is used for in vitro susceptibility testing and to study antibiotic-resistant enterococci.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ramoplatin is an antimicrobial which is effective against Gram-positive bacteria, including vancomycin-resistant enterococci. It acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, although its mechanism of action is different from that of glycopeptide-based synthesis inhibitors.

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Current opinion in investigational drugs (London, England : 2000), 7(8), 740-749 (2006-09-08)
Hemi-synthetic derivatives of glycopeptides have demonstrated bactericidal activity towards Gram-positive bacteria, including vancomycin-resistant strains (oritavancin and telavancin), and a prolonged half-life, allowing for once-daily (oritavancin and telavancin) or once-weekly (dalbavancin) administration. These compounds have proved effective for the treatment of

Enduracidins (1, 2) and ramoplanin (3) are structurally and functionally closely related lipodepsipeptide antibiotics. They are active against multi-drug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens, including MRSA. Each peptide contains one chlorinated non-proteinogenic amino acid residue, Cl(2)-Hpg or Cl-Hpg. To investigate the timing of

We evaluated the in vitro activity of ramoplanin, an antimicrobial compound that inhibits cell wall synthesis by acting at the level of lipid intermediate formation, against Clostridium difficile. We included strains with reduced susceptibilities to vancomycin (vancomycin-intermediate [Van(i)] strains) or
