Novobiocin

Description: Novobiocin is an orally active and potent antibiotic.Novobiocin is a DNA gyrase inhibitor and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) antagonist with inhibitory effects on gyrase and Hsp90. Novobiocin has anti-positive activity and can be used to study highly resistant pneumococcal infections. Target: Antibiotic, Apoptosis, Antibacterial, HSP, DNA gyrase, Virus Protease.
