Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Teicoplanin is a drug for the treatment of C. difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD).[1] Teicoplanin is a valuable drug for the treatment of infections caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococci. Teicoplanin is more active than vancomycin against streptococci and enterococci and equally active against staphylococcus aureus but less active against coagulase-negative staphylococci. The distribution of teicoplanin MICs is wide, ranging from 0.5 to 32 µg/mL. [2] Teicoplanin has a longer half-life than vancomycin, it can be given as an intravenous bolus or by intramuscular injection, and nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity are relatively uncommon. Teicoplanin binds to the terminal D-Ala-D-Ala sequence of peptides forming the bacterial cell wall and, by stearically hindering the transglycosylation reaction, inhibits the formation of peptidoglycan. [3]

Protocols

Teicoplanin is dissolved in DMSO in vitro. [2]
