Uses
Ianthelliformisamine C ditrifluoroacetate is an antibiotic enhancer with activity against resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Ianthelliformisamine C ditrifluoroacetate has been shown to improve the efficacy of doxycycline against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Ianthelliformisamine C ditrifluoroacetate was prepared using peptide coupling, resulting in high chemical yields of 27 to 91%. Ianthelliformisamine C ditrifluoroacetate exhibits its mechanism of action by inducing ATP efflux and causing membrane depolarization in bacterial cells.
