Abstract

(−)-Tulipalin B and (+)-6-tuliposide B were confirmed to inhibit MurA in vitro. However, contrary to fosfomycin, these compounds showed potent inhibitory activities against MurA overexpressing Escherichia coli, especially in the presence of UDP-GlcNAc. These observations suggest that these compounds induced bacterial cell death not through a MurA malfunction, but in such a MurA-mediated indirect manner as the inhibition of other Mur enzymes.
