“…However, more studies regarding statins structure are needed in order to ellucidate their effect against bacteria (Graziano et al, 2015). Regarding TZC, several studies using these compounds have shown that they have antimicrobial activity (Hörner et al, 2008;Domingues et al, 2010;Ombaka, Muguna, Gichumbi, 2012;Mohammadi, 2014;Paraginski et al, 2014;Tizotti et al, 2016), being proposed that their action mechanism occurs due to the chelating activity to metallic ions from the bacterial cell wall, inhibiting stages of bacterial synthesis, leading to cell death (Hörner et al, 2008;Ombaka, Muguna, Gichumbi, 2012;Yeo et al, 2013).…”
