A Picomolar Transition State Analogue Inhibitor of MTAN as a Specific Antibiotic for <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>
14 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
Campylobacter and Helicobacter species express a 6-amino-6-deoxyfutalosine N-ribosylhydrolase (HpMTAN) proposed to function in menaquinone synthesis. BuT-DADMe-ImmA is a 36 pM transition state analogue of HpMTAN, and the crystal structure of the enzyme-inhibitor complex reveals the mechanism of inhibition. BuT-DADMe-ImmA has a MIC(90) value of <8 ng/mL for Helicobacter pylori growth but does not cause growth...
