Biological Activity

MAC-545496 is a potent glycopeptide-resistance-associated protein R (GraR) inhibitor that targets the GraXRS two-component regulatory system in Staphylococcus aureus. Inhibition of GraR disrupts cell wall stress responses, thereby reversing β-lactam resistance in methicillin-resistant strains and synergizing with cationic antimicrobial peptides. MAC-545496 exhibits intracellular antimicrobial activity within macrophages and attenuates S. aureus virulence in infection models. [1]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
