Eravacycline molecular structure

Eravacycline

Also known as: Xerava

CAS Number: 1207283-85-9

Fluorocycline Antibacterial (Reserve)

Mechanism of Action

Eravacycline binds the 30S ribosomal subunit and blocks aminoacyl-tRNA entry, but its 7-fluoro and 9-pyrrolidinoacetamido substitutions allow it to evade both ribosomal protection proteins and tetracycline-specific efflux pumps. Ribosome binding affinity is higher than that of earlier tetracyclines, giving potency against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales and Acinetobacter. Activity is bacteriostatic to slowly bactericidal depending on organism.
