MAC13243, an antibacterial agent, is a likely inhibitor of the bacterial lipoprotein targeting chaperone, LolA.IC50 Value: Target: AntibacterialMAC13243, a molecule that belongs to a new chemical class and that has a unique mechanism and promising activity against multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. MAC13243 inhibits the function of the LolA protein and represents a new chemical probe of lipoprotein targeting in bacteria with promise as an antibacterial lead with Gram-negative selectivity.
