AVX 13616 shows the potent in vivo antibacterial activity of Avexa’s lead antibacterial candidate; particularly against drug-resistant Staphylococcus pathogens. IC50 value: 2-4 ug ml (MICs) Target: antibacterial agent AVX13616 was as active as mupirocin i
Ppc-1 is a chemical compound known for its inhibitory effects on the Gram-negative periodontopathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis. It acts as a mitochondrial uncoupler, enhancing mitochondrial oxygen consumption without affecting ATP production. Additionally, Ppc-1 serves as a cell-permeate inhibitor of interleukin-2 (IL-2). This compound exhibits various beneficial activities, including anti-obesity, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Galegine hydrochloride, a guanidine derivative derived from G. officinalis, plays a role in inducing weight loss in mice and has contributed to the development of biguanides, including metformin and phenformin. This compound stimulates AMPK activation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, L6 myotubes, H4IIE rat hepatoma, and HEK293 human kidney cell lines. Additionally, galegine hydrochloride exhibits antibacterial properties, particularly demonstrating a minimum inhibitory concentration of 4 mg L against Staphylococcus aureus strains[1][2].
Ajoene is a disulfide that has been found inA. sativumand has diverse biological activities, including antibacterial, anticancer, antiplatelet, and antioxidant properties.1,2,3,4It is active against Gram-positive (MICs = 5-160 µg ml) and Gram-negative bacteria (MICs = 136-200 µg ml), as well as yeasts (MICs = 10-20 µg ml).1Ajoene is cytotoxic to mouse melanoma cells (IC50= 18 µM), as well as human colon, lung, mammary, and pancreatic cancer cells (IC50s = 7-41 µM).2It reduces tumor growth in a B16 BL6 mouse model of melanoma when administered at a dose of 25 mg kg every other day and decreases the number of lung metastases when administered prior to tumor cell inoculation at doses ranging from 1-25 mg kg. It inhibits ADP- or collagen-induced platelet aggregation in isolated baboon platelets when used at concentrations ranging from 75 to 150 µg ml and in platelet-rich plasma isolated from baboons when administered at a dose of 25 mg kg.3Ajoene (25 mg kg) prevents thrombus formation on damaged arterial walls in heparinized pigs in anin situmodel of thrombogenesis.5It also reduces high-fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis, histopathological markers of liver damage, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) formation, and protein oxidation in a mouse model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).4 1.Naganawa, R., Iwata, N., Ishikawa, K., et al.Inhibition of microbial growth by ajoene, a sulfur-containing compound derived from garlicAppl.

Bismuth subcarbonate, also known as bismuth carbonate oxide, is a versatile semiconductor compound based on bismuth, commonly utilized for its antibacterial properties, as well as in various applications such as sensors, super capacitors, and photocatalysts. Additionally, bismuth subcarbonate serves as a protective agent against gastric acid erosion, particularly in the treatment of gastric ulcers[1][2].
Sulfisoxazole diethanolamine, also known as Sulfafurazole diethanolamine, is a sulfonamide antibacterialcompound with an oxazole substituent. It acts as an endothelin receptor antagonist, specifically targeting endothelin receptor A with an IC50 value of 0.60 μM and endothelin receptor B with an IC50 value of 22 μM. Additionally, Sulfisoxazole diethanolamine has been found to inhibit the release of breast cancer exosomes by specifically targeting endothelin receptor A [1] [2].
MtTMPK-IN-4 (compound 2), a para-piperidine, is a highly potent inhibitor of thymidylate kinase (MtTMPK) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, exhibiting an IC50 value of 6.1 μM. Additionally, it possesses remarkable inhibitory activity against tyrosinase. Furthermore, MtTMPK-IN-4 exhibits potent antibacterial properties [1] [2].
