Proteome-wide Profiling of Isoniazid Targets in <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>
1 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Isoniazid (INH) is an essential drug used to treat tuberculosis. The mycobactericidal agents are INH adducts [INH-NAD(P)] of the pyridine nucleotide coenzymes, which are generated in vivo after INH activation and which bind to, and inhibit, essential enzymes. The NADH-dependent enoyl-ACP reductase (InhA) and the NADPH-dependent dihydrofolate reductase (DfrA) have both been shown to be inhibited by INH-NAD(P)...
