Structure-based design,synthesis of novel inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis FabH as potential anti-tuberculosis agents

Mycobacterium tuberculosis FabH, an essential enzyme in mycolic acids biosynthetic pathway, is an attractive target for novel anti-tuberculosis agents. Structure-based design, synthesis of novel inhibitors of mtFabH was reported in this paper. A novel scaffold structure was designed, and 12 candidate compounds that displayed favorable binding with the active site were identified and synthesized. 2009 Song Li.

Syntheses and studies of hydantoin derivatives as potential anti-tuberculosis inhibitors

A short and efficient synthesis of（Z）-2-substituted-5-（4-（（2-substitued-5-oxoimidazolidin-4-ylidene）methyl）benzamido）ben-zoic acid derivatives（8a-g） as potential type of FabH inhibitors is described.Their structures were confirmed by MS,NOE and ~1H NMR.
