Aminocoumarin
Class of antibiotic chemical compounds / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aminocoumarin is a class of antibiotics that act by an inhibition of the DNA gyrase enzyme involved in the cell division in bacteria. They are derived from Streptomyces species,[1] whose best-known representative – Streptomyces coelicolor – was completely sequenced in 2002.[2] The aminocoumarin antibiotics include:[3]
- Novobiocin, Albamycin (Pharmacia And Upjohn)
