APPLICATION
Tigecycline: The First Glycylcycline Antimicrobial Agent with Activity against Multidrug-Resistant Strains
Tigecycline (GAR-936) is the first glycylcycline antimicrobial agent with expanded broad-spectrum activity against both Gram-negative (except for Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive aerobes and anaerobes. Furthermore, the spectrum of activity extends to multidrug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Streptococcus pneumoniae, vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), and Enterobacteriaceae, including extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing strains. In addition, tigecycline is able to overcome the major resistance mechanisms, ribosomal protection and efflux. Tigecycline inhibits protein translation in bacteria by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit and blocking entry of aminoacyl-tRNA molecules into the A site of the ribosome. Tigecycline binds to bacterial ribosomes in a novel way that allows it to overcome tetracycline resistance due to ribosomal protection. (The product is for research purpose only.)
