SQ109，10MG，SML1309-10MG，Sigma

General description

SQ109 is a 1,2-ethylenediamine, which is related to ethambutol.

Application

SQ109 has been used:

• as an antitubercular agent to study its interactions with mycobacterial membrane proteins large 3 (MmpL3) binding pocket
• as a positive control to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ohmyungsamycins (OMS) A and B against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) using the resazurin microtiter assay (REMA) plate method
• as an inhibitor of MmpL3 to explore the utility of mycobacterial CRISPR interference for validating target gene essentiality and compound mode of action

Biochem/physiol Actions

SQ109 exhibits activity against Helicobacter pylori and the fungi Candida albicans. It might also possess anti-bacterial activity.
Antitubercular; Inhibitor of MmpL3, a mycolic acid transporter required for incorporation of mycolic acid into the Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell wall.
SQ109 is an antitubercular developed for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). SQ109 inhibits the activity of MmpL3, a mycolic acid transporter required for incorporation of mycolic acid into the Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell wall.
