Discovery of Novel Acetohydroxyacid Synthase Inhibitors as Active Agents against<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>by Virtual Screening and Bioassay
14 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) has been regarded as a promising drug target against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) as it catalyzes the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids. In this study, 23 novel AHAS inhibitors were identified through molecular docking followed by similarity search. The determined IC(50) values range from 0.385 ± 0.026 μM to >200 μM against bacterium AHAS. Five of the identified...
