The development of new antibiotics effective against all strains of tuberculosis (TB) is needed. To evaluate the potential of marine microbe-derived natural products as anti-TB leads, we analyzed and compared the physico-chemical properties of 39 current TB drugs and candidates against 60 confirmed mycobacteria-active natural products. We showed that anti-TB natural products sourced from marine microbes have a large overlap with TB drug-like space. A model to predict potential anti-TB drugs is proposed.
需要开发对所有结核菌株均有效的新型抗生素。为了评估海洋微生物来源的天然产物作为抗结核先导物的潜力,我们分析并比较了39种当前的抗结核药物及候选药物与60种已证实具有抗分枝杆菌活性的天然产物的物理化学性质。我们发现,源自海洋微生物的抗结核天然产物与类抗结核药物空间有很大重叠。本文提出了一种预测潜在抗结核药物的模型。
