In this study, application of a dual absorbance/fluorescence assay to a chemical library screen identified several previously unknown inhibitors of mycobacteria. In addition, growth conditions had a significant effect on the activity profile of the library. Some inhibitors such as Se-methylselenocysteine were detected only when screening was performed under nutrient-limited culture conditions as opposed to nutrient-rich culture conditions. We propose that multiple culture condition library screening is required for complete inhibitory profiling and for maximal antimycobacterial compound detection.
在这项研究中,应用双吸收/荧光测定法对化学文库进行筛选,鉴定出了几种以前未知的分枝杆菌抑制剂。此外,生长条件对文库的活性谱有显著影响。一些抑制剂,如硒代蛋氨酸,只有在营养有限的培养条件下进行筛选时才能被检测到,而不是在营养丰富的培养条件下。我们提出,需要进行多种培养条件的文库筛选,以进行完整的抑制谱分析和最大限度地检测抗分枝杆菌化合物。
