PDPT-beta is a chemical compound that serves as the basis for a family of experimental broad-spectrum antibiotics. The PDPT-beta based antibotics can be selectively "tuned" to wipe out specific types of bacterial, viral, or cancerous growths, while leaving adjacent benign growths untouched.
The compound was discovered by Seaharvester scientists in the corpse of a pre-reproductive phase daghasasi specimen in 1097, a creature native to Bellerophon (Solomani Rim 1519). The full name of the compound, Cis-1, 2 paradichloro-triethyl-aminopro-cyclohepa-trenyl-4-tricyclohexene-beta is rarely used. Thus far, no synthesis of the chemical has been produced, and no source other than the daghasasi oguls has been discovered.
