1,3,6-Trihydroxy-2-methylanthraquinone 3-O-(6'-O-acetyl)-alpha-L-rhamnosyl-(1->2)-Beta-D-glucoside shows certain antibacterial activity.

Diaminopimelic acid or DAPA is a lysine-like amino acid derivative that is a key component of the bacterial cell wall. DAPA is incorporated or integrated into peptidoglycan of gram negative bacteria and is the attachment point for Braun's lipoprotein (BLP or Murein Lipoprotein). BLP is found in gram-negative cell walls and is one of the most abundant membrane proteins.

Bractoppin is a drug-like inhibitor of phosphopeptide recognition by the human BRCA1 tandem (t)BRCT domain (IC50 = 0.074 μM), which selectively inhibits substrate binding with nanomolar potency in vitro.
