DrugBank Description: | Ramoplanin is a novel glycolipodepsipeptide antibiotic under development for the treatment of CDAD. |
CAS Number: | 76168-82-6 |
Molecular Weight: | 2554.066 |
DrugBank Indication: | For the treatment of bacterial infections. |
DrugBank Pharmacology: | Ramoplanin represents a new class of antibiotics with a novel mechanism of action that is highly effective against <i>Staphylococci</i>. |
DrugBank MoA: | Ramoplanin is the first in a new class of antimicrobials to reach clinical trials. It is a glycolipodepsipeptide produced by the fermentation of <i>Actinoplanes spp.</i>. Ramoplanin blocks bacterial cell wall biosynthesis by interfering with peptidoglycan production. Ramoplanin inhibits the N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-catalysed conversion of lipid intermediate I to lipid intermediate II, a step that occurs before the transglycosylation and transpeptidation reactions. Ramoplanin’s mechanism of action is distinct from that of glycopeptides. Unlike glycopeptides, ramoplanin does not complex with the D-Ala–D-Ala sequence of cell wall precursors. |
