개요Moenomycin complex is a mixture of moenomycins A, A12, C1, C3 and C4, which are antibiotics isolated from several strains of Streptomyces that directly inhibit bacterial peptidoglycan glycosyltransferases. The minimal inhibitory concentration of moenomycin A against various Gram-positive bacteria ranges from 1-100 nM.

용도Moenomycin complex is an antibiotic and selective inhibitor of the transglycosylation step. Flavomycin (bambermycins) is an antibiotic complex obtained from Streptomyces bambergiensis containing mainly Moenomycins A and C. They are used as feed additives and growth promoters for swine, poultry and cattle.

일반 설명Flavophospholipol, formerly called moenomycin, was found in the culture broth of Streptomyces bambergiensis by Hoechst in 1955. This drug is called bambermycin by INN and in the United States. It shows strong activity against gram-positive bacteria and weak activity against gram-negative bacteria. Flavophospholipol has been used as a feed additive for growth promotion in poultry.
