Nikkomycin Z is a nucleoside peptide that functions as an orally active antifungal agent. It acts as a competitive analogue of the chitin synthase substrate UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, thereby inhibiting chitin synthesis. This mechanism contributes to its notable antifungal activity, making Nikkomycin Z a valuable tool for research in fungal infections and chitin metabolism.
