Lydimycin
Lydimycin (α-DHB; α-Dehydrobiotin) is an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces lydicus, with antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activities. Lydimycin inhibits the binding of SARS-CoV-2 S-614G spike protein to human ACE2. The antibacterial activity of Lydimycin can be reversed by Biotin (HY-B0511) in the culture medium. Lydimycin is applicable to infection-related research.

Biological Activity
Bacterial[1]
Lydimycin (compound Ⅰ) displays broad-spectrum in vitro antimicrobial activity against diverse gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, and fungi[1].
Lydimycin (1.25-20.0 μg) inhibits Escherichia coli growth in a synthetic medium in a dose-dependent manner, with its antibacterial activity reversed by increasing concentrations of biotin, showing no inhibition at 0.100 μg/mL Biotin (HY-B0511) across all tested doses[1].
Lydimycin (0-200 μM) inhibits the binding of SARS-CoV-2 S-614G-Strep spike protein to human ACE2-Fc with an IC50 of 1.6 μM, without non-specific Alpha signal interference[2].
