Natural and semi-synthetic antibiotics

Echinocandin B: a cyclic hexapeptide from A. nidulans, inhibits fungal cell wall synthesis by blocking beta-1,3-glucan.

Zearalenone (F2 toxin) is a mycotoxin produced mainly by fungi belonging to the genus Fusarium in foods and feeds.

Rifaximin: an oral semi-synthetic antibiotic from rifamycin SV; targets bacterial RNA polymerase to halt growth.

N-[(2E)-6,6-Dimethyl-2-hepten-4-ynyl]-1-naphthalenemethanamine (DHEA) is a human metabolite and an endogenous hormone. DHEA has been shown to have antifungal activity against Candida albicans in vitro. It also possesses an inhibitory effect on the growth of some fungi that are resistant to azole drugs, such as Coccidioides immitis, Cryptococcus neoformans and Blastomyces dermatitidis. DHEA has been used in the treatment of pediatric patients with chronic granulomatous disease and is currently being evaluated for use in other pediatric conditions.

(trans)-4-Propyl-1-methyl-L-proline is a synthetic compound that has been used in the past as an impurity standard in the synthesis of several drugs, including metaxalone and aminopyrine. It is also found to have pharmacological effects on its own and was used as a drug product for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. (trans)-4-Propyl-1-methyl-L-proline is not listed in any pharmacopoeia or international list of approved drugs.

Lincomycin B is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of antimicrobial agents. It is used in the treatment of viral infections and has been shown to have an effect against HIV-1, herpes simplex virus, and influenza A virus. Lincomycin B inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the ribosomes in bacteria and inhibiting peptide elongation. The optimum concentration for this compound is 0.2 mM with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 1 mM. Lincomycin B can be synthesized by reacting sodium hydroxide solution with hydrochloric acid or hydroxide solution at a temperature range from 30 °C to 70 °C.

Cefixime is a broad-spectrum oral antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, including respiratory tract and ear infections. Cefixime is the prodrug of cefixime acid, which is hydrolyzed in vivo to cefixime. This impurity is an analytical standard that can be used for research and development, high purity drug product, API impurity, HPLC standard and niche drugs. It can also be used as a metabolite and an impurity standard. The CAS number for this compound is 1335475-08-5. This chemical has natural or synthetic origins but is not specified.
