FtsZ-IN-12

FtsZ-IN-12 (Compound 16e) is an inhibitor of filamentous temperature-sensitive mutant Z (FtsZ) that promotes the polymerization of the FtsZ protein and suppresses its GTPase activity, thus disrupting the bacterial cell division process. This compound exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, effectively inhibiting B. subtilis ATCC 9372, B. pumilus CMCC 63202, S. aureus ATCC 25923, E. coli BW25113, and A. baumannii ATCC 19606 with MIC values ranging from 0.062-1 μg/mL. Additionally, FtsZ-IN-12 can inhibit biofilm formation and eliminate mature biofilms. It possesses bactericidal properties and shows no hemolytic toxicity to mammalian red blood cells at a dosage of 15 mg/kg.
