YKAs3003, a potent inhibitor of pathogenic KAS III, displays minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in the range 128-256 microg/mL against various bacteria.
β-Defensin-1 is a peptide with antimicrobial properties that protects the skin and mucosal membranes of the respiratory, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal tracts.1It inhibits the growth ofB. adolescentis,L. acidophilus,B. breve,B. vulgatus,L. fermentum,B. longum, andS. thermophilusin an antimicrobial radial diffusion assay.2β-Defensin-1 also inhibits the growth of periodontopathogenic and cariogenic bacteria, includingP. gingivalisandS. salivarius, and of susceptibleM. tuberculosisH37Rv but not of resistantM. tuberculosisRM22 when used at a concentration of 128 μg/ml.3,4It blocks human and mouse Kv1.3 voltage-gated potassium channels (IC50s = 11.8 and 13.2 μM, respectively).5Overexpression of β-defensin-1 in the human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines HSC-3, UM-1, and SCC-9 increases migration and invasion but not proliferation.6 1.Lehrer, R.I.Primate defensinsNat.

Leoidin is a depsidone originally isolated from L. gangaleoides that has antibacterial and enzyme inhibitory activities.1,2,3 It is active against the bacteria E. faecalis, H. influenzae, M. catarrhalis, S. aureus, and S. pneumoniae (MICs = 8, 32, 1, 128, and 64 μg ml, respectively).2 Leoidin inhibits phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (PheRS) isolated from P. aeruginosa (IC50 = 42 μM). It also inhibits organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) and OATP1B3 with Ki values of 0.08 and 1.84 μM, respectively, in CHO cells expressing the human transporters.3
(-)-Mycousnine is a microbial metabolite and derivative of usnic acid originally isolated fromM. nawaethat has antibacterial and antifungal activities.1,2It is active against the Gram-positive bacteriaB. subtilis,K. rhizophila, andS. aureus(MICs = 4, 8, and 4 g ml, respectively) but not the Gram-negative bacteriaE. coli,S. typhimurium, andK. pneumoniae(MICs = >128 g ml for all).2(-)-Mycousnine is also active against the fungiT. mentagrophytes,T. rubrum, andC. albicans(MICs = 25, 25, and 100 μg ml, respectively).1 1.Sassa, T., and Igarashi, M.Structures of (-)-mycousnine, (+)-isomycousnine and (+)-oxymycousnine, new usnic acid derivatives from phytopathogenic Mycosphaerella nawaeAgric.

A-39183A is an active component of the A-39183 antibiotic complex produced by aerobic fermentation of Streptomyces NRRL 12049. It has activity against penicillin-resistant S. aureus 3055 and S. faecalis X66 (MICs = 32 and 32 μg/ml, respectively) and a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria (MICs = 16-128 μg/ml) in an agar dilution assay.
Antibacterial agent 50 (example 47) is a compound that exhibits antibacterial activity. It shows minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 32, 64, and 128 mcg mL against three strains of E. coli, namely NCTC 13351, M 50, and 7 MP, respectively (WO2013030733A1).
Antimicrobial Agent-1 (compound 6C) shows strong activity (MIC = 2 μg mL) against TolC mutant E. coli. Additionally, it synergistically interacts with Colistin to exhibit enhanced activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Importantly, Antimicrobial Agent-1 exhibits no cytotoxic effects on mammalian cell lines. Its MIC values on Caco-2 and Vero cell lines are greater than 128 μg mL [1].
