MurA-IN-1（Cat No.:I045239）is a potent inhibitor of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine enolpyruvyl transferase (MurA), an essential bacterial enzyme in peptidoglycan biosynthesis. By blocking MurA activity, it disrupts the first committed step in cell wall formation, leading to inhibition of bacterial growth. This compound is a valuable tool for studying bacterial cell wall synthesis pathways and exploring novel antibiotic strategies. Its specificity for MurA makes it particularly useful in antimicrobial research targeting resistant strains. MurA-IN-1 supports investigations into enzyme kinetics, structural biology, and the development of next-generation antibacterial agents with unique mechanisms of action.
