Telavancin
Telavancin is a lipoglycopeptide antibiotic derived from vancomycin that acts through a dual mechanism: inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to the D-Ala-D-Ala terminus of peptidoglycan precursors, and disrupting bacterial membrane integrity by binding to lipid II and inserting into the cell membrane, causing membrane depolarization and increased permeability. It is approved for hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia and complicated skin infections caused by gram-positive organisms including MRSA. Its lipophilic tail enhances binding affinity and membrane-disrupting activity compared to vancomycin.
