CSP1 is a highly potent and selective agonist of the ComD1 receptor, exhibiting an IC50 value of 10.3 nM. It represents a major variant of competence-stimulating peptide (CSP) and plays a crucial role in regulating the genetic transformation of S. pneumoniae through modulation of quorum sensing (QS). Additionally, CSP1 possesses antibacterial activity, further enhancing its potential as an effective antibacterial agent.
(-)-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.

Cefazolin-13C2,15N is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of cefazolin by GC- or LC-MS. Cefazolin is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic that is active in vitro against various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (MICs = 0.2-12.5 μg ml). It also inhibits the growth of clinical isolates of S. aureus, E. coli, P. mirabilis, and K. pneumoniae (MICs = 0.1-25 μg ml). In vivo, cefazolin protects against S. aureus, E. coli, and P. mirabilis infection in mice (ED50s = <0.09-1.78, 0.44-3.63, and 2.31-5.2 mg animal, respectively). Formulations containing cefazolin have been used to treat a variety of bacterial infections.
Desacetyl cefapirin is an active metabolite of the cephalosporin antibiotic cefapirin .1 Desacetyl cefapirin is active against E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. mirabilis, and S. aureus with MIC values of 120, 24, 34, and 0.42 μg ml, respectively.References1.

TP0586352 is a potent inhibitor of LpxC, exhibiting efficacy against carbapenem-resistant strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae without inducing cardiovascular risks.
DS86760016 is a highly effective inhibitor of leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS), demonstrating potent activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Notably, DS86760016 effectively inhibits LeuRS enzymes derived from Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii, exhibiting IC50 values of 0.38 μM, 0.62 μM, and 0.16 μM, respectively.
OM173-αA is a quinone bacterial metabolite that inhibits the growth of the bacteria M. gallisepticum, M. pneumoniae, and S. aureus. OM173-αA also inhibits the growth of the plant pathogenic fungus P. oryzae and several species of Trichophyton.
