Discovery of Prenyltransferase Inhibitors with In Vitro and In Vivo Antibacterial Activity
21 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
Cis -prenyltransferases such as undecaprenyl diphosphate synthase (UPPS) and decaprenyl diphosphate synthase (DPPS) are essential enzymes in bacteria and are involved in cell wall biosynthesis. UPPS and DPPS are absent in the human genome, so they are of interest as targets for antibiotic development. Here, we screened a library of 750 compounds from National Cancer Institute Diversity Set V for the inhibition of...
