Amidochelocardin | German Center for Infection Research

Short description

Amidochelocardin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic.

Detailed description

DZIF scientists developed amidochelocardin by rational genetic engineering of the natural compound chelocardin. The antibiotic is effective against multiresistent bacteria, which are often responsible for hospital-acquired infections.

Preclinical development of Amidochelocardins

The challenge of antibiotic drug development today is the discovery and optimisation of novel bioactive compounds that do not show cross-resistances with clinically applied antibiotics, ideally due to a novel mode of action (MoA) which adresses unexploited microbial targets. In the case of ...
