Compound ID | 668
Class: Peptide deformylase inhibitor
| Spectrum of activity: | Gram-positive & Gram-negative |
| Details of activity: | Peptide deformylase (PDF) inhibitors are growth inhibitors; bacterial static antibiotic for Gram positive bacteria, has activity against fastidious Gram negative bacteria. Active against S. aureus |
| Description: | Margolis P, Hackbarth C, Lopez S, et al. Resistance to deformylase inhibitor VRC484 is caused by mutations in formyl transferase. 39th-ICAAC 1999;333. |
| Institute where first reported: | Versicor (Pfizer, USA) |
| Year first mentioned: | 1999 |
| Highest developmental phase: | Preclinical |
| Development status: | Inactive |
| Reason Dropped: | Actinonin was taken forward into clinical trials for other conditions including angiogenesis. Additionally resistance was in S. aureus was found to be at 10E-6 to 10E-7 with mutations in one gene required (1). |
