Tyrocidine A
Tyrocidine A is an amphipathic cyclic decapeptide natural product, as well as a membrane-disrupting agent and an antibacterial agent. Tyrocidine A exhibits moderate activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Tyrocidine A can insert into bacterial cell membranes, form porous channels, disrupt membrane integrity and induce bacterial cell death. Tyrocidine A can be used in studies related to bacterial infections.
