Norcyclizine

Norcyclizine is a piperazine compound that can be used for the synthesis of antimicrobial agents. 1-Benzhydrylpiperazine derivatives have been found to enhance the antibacterial activity of β-lactam antibiotics (Oxacillin, HY-B0925A) against Methicillin (HY-121544) -resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) . This enhancement is likely achieved by inhibiting the allosteric site of PBP2a. Additionally, 1-Benzhydrylpiperazine can also serve as a pharmacological scaffold for the synthesis of anticancer agents[1][2].
