Beschreibung

General description

Chemical structure: peptidyl nucleoside

Application

Nikkomycin Z is used as a selective competitive inhibitor of chitin synthetase 3 in studies on fungal cell wall development. It is a potential treatment for human Encephalitozoon hellem, a microsporidian species and is used to study the changes of chitin and β--glucan under Nikkomycin Z exposure.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nikkomycin Z inhibits chitin synthase from converting UDP-GlcNAc into cell wall chitin due to its structural resemblance to UDP-N-acetylglucosamine.

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.Keep in a dry place.
