CAS 152253-67-3: mupinensisone

Mupinensisone is a natural product of Celastrus, Celastraceae.

Mupinensisone is an antibiotic, derived from the natural source Streptomyces species. This bacterial genus is renowned for its prolific production of bioactive compounds, particularly antimicrobials. Mupinensisone exerts its mode of action by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It targets specific enzymes crucial for the peptidoglycan cross-linking in bacterial cell walls, thereby compromising structural integrity and leading to cell lysis. The primary application of Mupinensisone lies in its ability to target Gram-positive bacterial strains that exhibit resistance to conventional treatments. Its unique mechanism offers an alternative for combating multi-drug resistant pathogens, a critical challenge in infectious disease management. Current research is focused on further elucidating its molecular interactions and assessing its potential in clinical settings as a viable option in the antibiotic arsenal.
