pyridoxatin

CHEBI:84035 ·resolve ·ANTIMICROBIAL_UNSPECIFIED ·EXACT SEEDED

A member of the class of dihydroxypyridines that is 1,4-dihydroxypyridin-2-one carrying an additional 6-ethenyl-2,4-dimethylcyclohexyl substituent at position 3. Pyridoxatin is a MMP-2 (Gelatinase A) inhibitor with antibiotic and anticancer properties. Also indicated to be a lipid peroxidation and DNA synthesis inhibitor as well as a free radical scavenger. — ChEBI

Mechanism summary

Mode of action: NUCLEIC_ACID_SYNTHESIS_INHIBITION host shared target — Assigned from ChEBI role CHEBI:59517 (DNA synthesis inhibitor). ChEBI asserts the role on the compound. The target it names is one the host has too, so the mechanism is true but is not evidence of selectivity — see mode_of_action_target_scope. Not a curator's mechanistic review.
