Fludalanine (MK641), an analogue of D-alanine, irreversiably inactivates racemase and also inhibits synthase. When used in combination with cycloserine, it has been found to be more active against a variety of non-mycobacterium organisms than fludalanine
Parvodicin complex is a mixture of closely related lipophilic glycopeptides originally isolated from A. parvosata. The parvodicin complex has activity against Gram-positive bacteria (MICs = 0.8-12.5 μg ml) including methicillin-resistant strains of S. aureus (MRSA), S. hemolyticus, and E. faecalis (MICs = 0.1-25 μg ml). Glycopeptide antibiotics act by preventing cell wall synthesis by binding and sequestering a cell wall precursor with a D-alanine-containing peptide.
