MK204 is a potent antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth by binding to enzymes. It has been shown to inhibit the activity of nitrogenases, which are enzymes involved in the metabolism of nitrogen. MK204 can also bind to other enzymes, such as acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, which are important for nervous system function. MK204 has been shown to be effective against antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This drug also has potential as a biomarker for cardiac muscle disorders and metabolic disorders. MK204 is an antioxidant that may protect cells from oxidative stress by scavenging reactive oxygen species.

MK204 is an inhibitor of AKR1B10, a tumor marker and promising antineoplastic target.
