BB-3497 is a potent, orally active and selective peptide deformylase (PDF) inhibitor. BB-3497 is highly selective for PDF (IC50 = 7 nM for E. coli PDF.Ni) over the other mammalian metalloenzymes (MMP-1/2/3/7 and enkephalinase). BB-3497 exhibits potent activity against gram-positive bacteria and some gram-negative pathogens. BB-3497 protects mice from infection in systemic models of Staphylococeus aureus. BB-3497 can be used for anti-bacterial infection research.

Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
