Enramycin A(CAS  34438-27-2) acts as a MurG inhibitor involved peptidoglycan synthesis in gram positive bacteria.MurG catalyzes the transglycosylation reaction in the last step of peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Inhibition of this step greatly compromises cell wall integrity leading to cell death by lysis.
