Monural - broad-spectrum antibiotic, a derivative of phosphonic acid, has a bactericidal effect, the mechanism of which is associated with the suppression of the first stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. It is a structural analogue of pyruvate phosphoenol, enters into a competitive interaction with the enzyme N-acetyl-glucosamine-3-o-enolpyruvyl transferase. As a result, specific, selective and irreversible inhibition of this enzyme occurs, which ensures that there is no cross-resistance to other classes of antibiotics and the possibility of synergism with other antibiotics (synergism with amoxicillin, cephalexin, pipemidic acid is noted in vitro).
