A40926 is a glycopeptide antibiotic that targets the bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan precursor D-alanyl-D-alanine (D-Ala-D-Ala). A40926 irreversibly inhibits cell wall synthesis by competitively binding to this target, and has high bactericidal activity against Gram-positive bacteria (such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, with MIC=0.06-2 µg/mL, and is also effective against penicillin-resistant strains. A40926 blocks peptidoglycan cross-linking, destroys cell wall integrity, and causes bacterial lysis and death. A40926 has a fat-soluble fatty acid structure, which can increase serum concentrations and prolong the duration of action (e.g., the terminal half-life in rats is 61.22 h)[1][2].
