Structure:
DrugBank Description: Friulimicin B is a naturally occurring antibiotic produced by a micro-organism, *Actinoplanes friuliensis*. It shows strong cidal activity against a number of Gram-positive pathogens which commonly cause serious infections in hospital patients and which are becoming more routinely acquired in the community.
CAS Number: 239802-15-4
Molecular Weight: 1303.48
DrugBank Indication: Investigated for use/treatment in bacterial infection.
DrugBank Pharmacology: --
DrugBank MoA: Friulimicin B, in the presence of calcium, forms a complex with a lipid carrier that acts in cell wall biosynthesis and which is not targeted by other antibiotics currently in use. Friulimicin B appears to block two essential pathways in the cell envelope and the complexes formed prevent the formation of a functional cell wall.
Targets: --
Inclusion Criteria: Indication associated
