HPPK, which directly precedes DHPS in the folate biosynthetic pathway, is a promising but chronically under-exploited anti-microbial target. Here we report the identification of new HPPK inhibitors, offering potential for new resistance circumventing therapies as well as avenues for diversifying the current HPPK inhibitor space.
HPPK在叶酸生物合成途径中直接位于DHPS之前,是一个有前景但长期未得到充分开发的抗菌靶点。在此,我们报告了新型HPPK抑制剂的鉴定结果,这些抑制剂为新的抗耐药性疗法提供了潜力,也为拓展当前HPPK抑制剂的类型提供了途径。
