Abstract excerpt
The aminobenzimidazole SPR719 targets DNA gyrase in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The molecule acts as inhibitor of the enzyme's ATPase located on the Gyrase B subunit of the tetrameric Gyrase A2B2 protein. SPR719 is also active against non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) and recently entered clinical development for lung disease caused by these bacteria. Resistance against SPR719 in NTM has not been characterized....
