Norvancomycin hydrochloride is a cell wall synthesis inhibitor targeting peptidoglycan precursors of Gram-positive bacteria and cannot pass the blood-brain barrier. Norvancomycin hydrochloride can competitively bind to peptidoglycan precursors, irreversibly inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis, and exert antibacterial activity. Norvancomycin hydrochloride is mainly used in the study of Gram-positive bacterial infections, especially infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE). Norvancomycin hydrochloride can also be incorporated into the bionic calcium phosphate coating of titanium implants to enhance antibacterial activity and inhibit postoperative orthopedic infections[1][2].
