Arylomycin A2 

Arylomycin A2, an antibiotic (Antibiotic), is a lipopeptide type I signal peptidase (SPase I) inhibitor. Arylomycin A2 has antibacterial effects^[1].

Arylomycin A2 exhibits very potent antibacterial activity against free-living S. epidermidis cells. The MIC values against planktonic S. epidermidis 1457 and RP62A are 0.235 μg/mL and 0.058 μg/mL for Arylomycin A2, respectively. Arylomycin A2 shows the antibacterial effect towards S. epidermidis biofilms, and reduces biofilm formation markedly^[2].
