Citrocin

Citrocin is a potent bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) inhibitor. Citrocin shows significant inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli RNAP with an MIC range of 16-125 μM. Citrocin specifically binds to and inhibits RNA polymerase to block bacterial transcription and enters cells mainly through inner membrane protein SbmA. Citrocin is promising for research of Gram-negative bacterial infections, such as enterohemorrhagic E. coli[1].
