Investigating Novel IspE Inhibitor of MEP Pathway in Mycobacterium

2023-12-07

Abstract excerpt

In a recent effort to mitigate harm from human pathogens, many biosynthetic pathways are extensively evaluated for their ability to inhibit pathogen growth and determine drug targets. Among those, one of the important products/targets of such pathways is isopentenyl diphosphate, the universal precursor of isoprenoids, which are essential for the normal functioning of microorganisms. In general, two biosynthetic pa...
