Tunicamycin V（Cat No.:I037615）, also known as Tunicamycin A, is a nucleoside natural product with potent inhibitory activity against bacterial phospho-N-acetylmuramyl-pentapeptide transferase (MraY). It displays an IC50 value of 0.35 μM against MraY, making it an effective inhibitor of this bacterial enzyme. Tunicamycin V also exhibits antibacterial activity, which is attributed to its ability to disrupt the biosynthesis of the bacterial cell wall. These properties make Tunicamycin V a valuable compound for studying bacterial cell wall synthesis and as a potential therapeutic agent against bacterial infections.
