  3. Bacitracin

Bacitracin is a polypeptide antibiotic against staphylococcal and pathogenic protozoa infections. Bacitracin inhibits cell wall biosynthesis and permeability through binding to the undecaprenyl pyrophosphate. Bacitracin inhibits macromolecular synthesis. Bacitracin is also a protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) inhibitor.

    Description

    Bacitracin is a polypeptide antibiotic against staphylococcal and pathogenic protozoa infections. Bacitracin inhibits cell wall biosynthesis and permeability through binding to the undecaprenyl pyrophosphate. Bacitracin inhibits macromolecular synthesis. Bacitracin is also a protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) inhibitor[1][2][3].

    In Vitro

    Bacitracin (64 μg/mL, 24 h) together with Colistin shows antibacterial activity against S. aureus BA01611[1].
    Bacitracin (64 μg/mL, 1 or 2 h) damages the cell surface to grape-like cell clusters, and the cell boundaries are faint and unclear[1].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    In Vivo

    Bacitracin (0-100 mg/kg, intramuscular injection, daily for 12 consecutive days) shows anti-tumor efficacy in HCC model[3].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Animal Model: HCC model (MH134 cells implanted)[3]
    Dosage: 0, 10, 50, and 100 mg/kg
    Administration: Intramuscular injection (i.m), daily for 12 consecutive days.
    Result: Decreased tumor volumes.
    Decreased the percentage of PDI-stained vascular densities.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
