Abstract excerpt
Pyridochromanones were identified by high throughput screening as potent inhibitors of NAD+-dependent DNA ligase from Escherichia coli. Further characterization revealed that eubacterial DNA ligases from Gram-negative and Gram-positive sources were inhibited at nanomolar concentrations. In contrast, purified human DNA ligase I was not affected (IC50 > 75 microm), demonstrating remarkable specificity for the...
