    Parvodicin

    $140.11 - $488.20

    Parvodicin is a family of glycopeptides with potent antibiotic activity, isolated from Actinomadura parvosata. Structurally the parvodicins share a common cyclic peptide core with ristocetin. The analogues within the complex vary in the fatty acid substitution on the aminosugar. Parvodicin complex is a precursor to the synthetic glycopepide, dalbavancin.

    Parvodicin complex is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF or DMSO. Slightly soluble in water.

    Mechanism of Action Like other glycopeptides in this class, parvodicin complex inhibits cell wall formation by binding to D-alanine-D-alanine residues.
    Molecular Formula C83H88Cl2N8O29 (for C1)
