Comment: Cyclothialidine is a potent DNA gyrase inhibitor, isolated from Streptomyces filipinensis following microbial broth screening [4]. It belongs to a novel class of antibacterial compounds, containing a unique 12-membered lactone ring that is partly integrated into a pentapeptide chain, that exhibit broad-spectrum in vitro activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Further development of cyclothialidine has been precluded due to low growth-inhibitory activity against intact bacterial cells but analogues with improved in vivo efficacy have been synthesized [1].
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
Antibacterial MMOA is inhibition of DNA gyrase, a type II DNA topoisomerase that catalyzes the negative supercoiling of DNA and is essential in all bacteria but absent from higher eukaryotes. Cyclothialidine binds to the B subunit of DNA gyrase inhibiting the ATPase activity [3]. |
