Ambuic acid

• UNSPSC Description:

  Ambuic acid exhibits antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, with IC50 of 43.9 μM for strain ATCC 6538. Ambuic acid is an inhbitor for the biosynthesis of cyclic peptide quorum sensing molecules (quormones) in gram-positive bacteria. Ambuic acid exhibits anti-inflammatory activity through ERK/JNK/MAPK signaling pathway[1][2][3].
