PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION

Flavomycin® (flavophospholipol) is a performance enhancing antibiotic intended and available solely for use in animal nutrition. Flavomycin® is predominately effective against Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria. Its effect is to inhibit the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. The spectrum of activity covers economically important microorganisms which compete with the host animal for nutrients. Flavomycin® inhibits their reproduction by intervening in the biosynthesis of murein, the structural substance of their cell walls. Specifically, the enzyme gly­consyltransferase, that plays an essential role in the synthesis of the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria, cannot distinguish between flavophospholipol and the natural murein compound. This prevents murein synthesis from taking place. Damage to the murein layer causes cells to burst. However, the desirable lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are unharmed. Flavomycin® is one of the most active substances inhibiting murein biosynthesis and is therefore effective in very low doses. An antimicrobial with this mode of action is particularly suitable as feed additive, as animal cells have no comparable vulnerable structure. This results in the extra-ordinarily high efficacy of and tolerability to Flavomycin®.
