DRUG EFFECTING THE DRUG RESISTANCE PATHOGENS
A
molecule called Lip
oxazolidinone A is a synthetic compound
could be used as a tool for the study of infectious agents, especially gram
positives might find its application in the future drug creations. It is isolated
from bacteria found in the marine sediments. Hence it is obtained from natural
product. These bacteria produces the secondary metabolites, which is used for
purposes like defense. During the initial isolation of lip oxazolidinone A was found
to be effective against Gram-positive bacteria like MRSA. These original
findings were confirmed and understood to correlate the molecular structure to
its function, to know the portions of it was responsible for its anti-microbial
actions and to improve that structure. Lip oxazolidinone A was synthesized using the novel chemical tools in the lab. It helped to
confirm the portion of the structure responsible for an antibiotic reaction which
was JJM35. It was tested on both the resistant and non-resistant strains
of bacteria. It was tested invitro against MRSA showed that
the molecule was 50 times more effective against several bacterial strains
compared to other natural drug. In Addition to this, it was effective against
resistant bacterial strains than nonresistant strains. It was identified that
these molecules might also inhibit multiple biosynthetic pathways directly or indirectly
which means bacteria may have difficulty in developing resistance to potential
drugs obtained from these molecules. The chemical scaffold obtained is evaluated
for knowing in-vivo efficacy of the molecule. This scaffold is built in order to
synthesize drugs effective against MRSA
and other resistant bacteria and also to increase their spectrum of activity.
