Common NameMonamycin
DescriptionMonamycin is a cyclodepsipeptide antibiotic belonging to the class of natural products. Its chemical structure features a cyclic arrangement of amino acids and ester bonds, which contribute to its unique properties and biological activity. Monamycin is involved in various biochemical pathways, particularly in its interaction with cations, forming complexes that influence its mode of action (PMID:5443702 ). The antibiotic's efficacy has been shown to be inversely proportional to its unsolvated molecular weight, suggesting that structural characteristics play a significant role in its antimicrobial activity (PMID:4790597 ). Additionally, the biosynthesis of brominated analogues of monamycin has been observed when Streptomyces jamaicensis is grown in a low-chloride medium supplemented with NaBr, indicating the potential for chemical modification and exploration of its derivatives (PMID:4790597 ). Overall, monamycin's complex structure and its interactions within biological systems highlight its significance in the study of antibiotic mechanisms.
