MexB protein, which involves the antibiotic binding mechanism, can be considered a major target for the development of efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs).
Ligand Details
"Conessine, a natural steroidal alkaloid from Holarrhena antidysenterica, previously exhibited efflux pump inhibitory potential. The previous studies suggested that conessine, a
steroidal alkaloid extracted from Holarrhena antidysenterica
provides the synergistic effects with various antibiotics that
could restore antibiotic activity due to inhibit the efflux
pump of the MexAB-OprM overexpressed strain of P.
aeruginosa and AdeIJK pump in Acinetobacter baumannii."
