Antibacterial drug discovery needs to develop new strategies to identify attractive hit-target couples for more effective lead finding and optimization. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Park and coworkers describe a novel target-based whole cell combination screening approach resulting in the identification of new inhibitors of biotin biosynthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
抗菌药物研发需要制定新策略,以识别有吸引力的命中靶点组合,从而更有效地发现和优化先导化合物。在本期《化学生物学》中,帕克及其同事描述了一种基于靶点的新型全细胞组合筛选方法,该方法鉴定出了结核分枝杆菌生物素生物合成的新抑制剂。
