Structure:
DrugBank Description: Pristinamycin IIA is a macrolide antibiotic, a member of the streptogramin A group of antibiotics, and one component of pristinamycin. It is produced by Streptomyces graminofaciens and other bacteria.
CAS Number: 21411-53-0
Molecular Weight: 525.5934
DrugBank Indication: For the treatment of bacterial infections.
DrugBank Pharmacology: --
DrugBank MoA: Virginiamycin M1 is a macrocyclic lactone antibiotic that acts syngeristically with the structurally unrelated cyclic depsipeptides more commonly known as the virginiamycins B (ostreogrycin B or streptogramin B) and S to inhibit peptide elongation. This is achieved by blocking formation of a peptide bond between the growing peptide chain (peptidyl-tRNA) linked to the 50S ribosome and aminoacyl-tRNA. Virginiamycin M1 has proven to be highly active against Gram positive bacteria, particularly methicillin-resistant S. aureus.
Targets: Streptogramin A acetyltransferase
Inclusion Criteria: Indication associated
