| anisomycin | An antibiotic isolated from various Streptomyces species. It interferes with protein and DNA synthesis by inhibiting peptidyl transferase or the 80S ribosome system. | (-)-anisomycin |
| cycloserine | A 4-amino-1,2-oxazolidin-3-one that has R configuration. It is an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces garyphalus or S. orchidaceus and is used as part of a multi-drug regimen for the treatment of tuberculosis when resistance to, or toxicity from, primary drugs has developed. An analogue of D-alanine, it interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis in the cytoplasm by competitive inhibition of L-alanine racemase (which forms D-alanine from L-alanine) and D-alanine--D-alanine ligase (which incorporates D-alanine into the pentapeptide required for peptidoglycan formation and bacterial cell wall synthesis). | D-cycloserine zwitterion; D-cycloserine |
| cystothiazole a | An organonitrogen heterocyclic antibiotic that is 2,4'-bi-1,3-thiazole substituted by an isopropyl group at position 2' and a 3,5,7-trimethoxy-4-methyl-7-oxohepta-1,5-dien-1-yl group at position 4 (the 2E,4R,5S,6E stereoisomer). It is isolated from the culture broth of myxobacterium, Cystobacter fuscus, and exhibits antifungal and cytotoxic activity. | cystothiazole A |
| flomoxef | A second-generation oxacephem antibiotic in which the oxazine ring is substituted at C-3 with a hydroxyethyl-substituted tetrazolylthiomethyl group and the azetidinone ring carries 7alpha-methoxy and 7beta-{2-[(difluoromethyl)thiomethyl]acetamido} substituents. | flomoxef |
| nifurtoinol | An imidazolidine-2,4-dione that is hydantoin substituted at position 1 by a [(5-nitro-2-furyl)methylene]amino group and at position 3 by a hydroxymethyl group. | nifurtoinol |
| nitrofurantoin | An imidazolidine-2,4-dione that is hydantoin substituted at position 1 by a [(5-nitro-2-furyl)methylene]amino group. An antibiotic that damages bacterial DNA. | nitrofurantoin |
