[4R-[3(2S*,3S*),4R*]]-3-[3-[3-[Bis(phenylmethyl)amino]phenyl]-2-(2-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-1-oxopentyl]-4-phenyl-2-oxazolidinone (CAS 188559-29-7)

[4r-[3(2s*,3s*),4r*]]-3-[3-[3-[Bis(Phenylmethyl)Amino]Phenyl]-2-(2-Methyl-1,3-Dioxolan-2-Yl)-1-Oxopentyl]-4-Phenyl-2-Oxazolidinone functions as an inhibitor of protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. It targets the peptidyl transferase center, preventing the formation of peptide bonds during translation. By doing so, it disrupts the elongation of polypeptide chains, ultimately leading to the inhibition of protein synthesis. [4r-[3(2s*,3s*),4r*]]-3-[3-[3-[Bis(Phenylmethyl)Amino]Phenyl]-2-(2-Methyl-1,3-Dioxolan-2-Yl)-1-Oxopentyl]-4-Phenyl-2-Oxazolidinone′s mechanism of action involves interfering with the translocation step of protein synthesis, thereby impeding the movement of tRNAs and inhibiting the addition of amino acids to the growing peptide chain. It induces a conformational change in the ribosome, further inhibiting its function.
