General description
Rhodamine B labeled Ramoplanin is a fluorescent derivative of Ramoplanin, with a similar mode of action as Ramoplanin. It allows fluorescent labeling of Gram-positive bacteria and their detection by common fluorescent instruments. Ramoplanin is a lipoglycodepsipeptide antibiotic that is produced by the fermentation of Actinoplanes species. Fluorescent antibiotics are obtained by a synthetic conjugation of an antibiotic to a fluorophore.
Application
Fluorescent antibiotics can be used for many applications including:
- Antimicrobial resistance research
- Bacterial visualization and imaging
- Parent antibiotic mode of action research and new antibiotic discovery
- Toxicity studies
- Diagnosis of bacterial infections and tracking their uptake in vivo
Biochem/physiol Actions
Ramoplanin blocks the bacterial cell wall biosynthesis by specifically binding to the first sugar of lipid I. N-Acetylmuramic acid thus interfering with peptidoglycan production.
Mode of Action: Is different from the d-Ala-d-Ala that are targeted by vancomycin and shows no cross-resistance with other glycopeptides.
Activity Spectrum: Effective against a broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive pathogens both in vitro and in vivo including Enterococci, Staphylococci, Bacilli, Streptococci, Listeria monocytogenes, and Gram-positive anaerobes such as Clostridrium difficile. However, Rhodamine B labeled Ramoplanin presents a MIC decrease in the magnitude of two to five orders in bacterial activity in comparison to the parent Ramoplanin.

The peptide antibiotic ramoplanin inhibits bacterial peptidoglycan (PG) biosynthesis by interrupting late-stage membrane-associated glycosyltransferase reactions catalyzed by the transglycosylase and MurG enzymes. The mechanism of ramoplanin involves sequestration of lipid-anchored PG biosynthesis intermediates, physically occluding these substrates from proper utilization

The lipoglycodepsipeptide antibiotic ramoplanin is proposed to inhibit bacterial cell wall biosynthesis by binding to intermediates along the pathway to mature peptidoglycan, which interferes with further enzymatic processing. Two sequential enzymatic steps can be blocked by ramoplanin, but there is
