KKL-40 is a small molecule inhibitor that targets the trans-transcription process and is effective against methicillin-sensitive and -resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) as well as other Gram-positive pathogens including vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, Bacillus subtilis, and Streptococcus pyogenes. KKL-40 synergizes with the human antimicrobial peptide LL-37 to inhibit S. aureus, but does not synergize with other antibiotics such as daptomycin, kanamycin, or erythromycin. Trans-transcription is an extreme form of recoding, and KKL-40 inhibits trans-transcription but is nontoxic to HeLa cells[1].
