List of synthetic antibacterial agents with their mechanisms of action
Synthetic antibacterials | Mechanism of action | Reference |
---|---|---|
Cresomycin | Binds 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] |
Oxepanoprolinamide | Interferes with ribosomal function sites to halt bacterial growth and proliferation, effectively stopping protein synthesis and leading to cell death. | [44] |
