Discovery of isoquinoline sulfonamides as allosteric gyrase inhibitors with activity against fluoroquinolone-resistant bacteria
19 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
Bacteria have evolved resistance to nearly all known antibacterials, emphasizing the need to identify antibiotics that operate via novel mechanisms. Here we report a class of allosteric inhibitors of DNA gyrase with antibacterial activity against fluoroquinolone-resistant clinical isolates of Escherichia coli. Screening of a small-molecule library revealed an initial isoquinoline sulfonamide hit, which was...
