List of synthetic antibacterial agents with their mechanisms of action

Synthetic antibacterialsMechanism of actionReference
CresomycinBinds strongly to its ribosomal target, blocking protein synthesis more effectively than other antibiotics.[42]
Iboxamycin (IBX)Targets bacterial ribosomes, disrupting protein synthesis in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it effective for multidrug-resistant infections.[43]
OxepanoprolinamideInterferes with ribosomal function sites to halt bacterial growth and proliferation, effectively stopping protein synthesis and leading to cell death.[44]
