Neobritannilactone B

Description:
Neobritannilactone B is a natural product that was isolated from the leaves of the tree, “Neobuxbaumia americana”. It is a secondary metabolite that has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Neobritannilactone B is a potent inhibitor of bacterial RNA synthesis and protein synthesis. The activity against Gram-positive bacteria may be due to its ability to bind to DNA and inhibit transcription. This natural product also inhibits the formation of biofilm, which is an important factor in bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Neobritannilactone B has been shown to be more potent than other known antibacterial compounds when it comes to inhibiting Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis.
