rac-Cycloserine（Cat No.:R012858）is the racemic form of cycloserine, a broad-spectrum antibiotic that contains both D- and L-enantiomers. Structurally, it is a cyclic analog of D-alanine, classified as an oxazolidinone, and acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It specifically targets enzymes like alanine racemase and D-alanine:D-alanine ligase, essential for peptidoglycan formation. While the D-isomer is primarily responsible for its antibacterial activity, the racemic mixture is sometimes used in research and pharmaceutical formulations. rac-Cycloserine is also studied for neurological effects and has been explored for use in anxiety and PTSD treatments.
