Application
Nikkomycin Z is used as a selective competitive inhibitor of chitin synthetase 3 in studies on fungal cell wall development. It is a potential treatment for human Encephalitozoon hellem, a microsporidian species and is used to study the changes of chitin and β--glucan under Nikkomycin Z exposure.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Nikkomycin Z inhibits chitin synthase from converting UDP-GlcNAc into cell wall chitin due to its structural resemblance to UDP-N-acetylglucosamine. Nikkomycin Z has potent antifungal, insecticidal and acaridicial activity.
