Ferrocin A
Ferrocin A is a lipopeptide compound that targets the SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (nsp12). Ferrocin A can stably bind to nsp12, and as an iron-chelating peptide, it reduces the concentration of free iron in the environment via complexation, thereby inhibiting bacterial growth by repressing the acquisition of essential metal cations. As an iron-chelating antiviral molecule, Ferrocin A may be used in studies related to COVID-19 and bacterial infections.
