competitive inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosistypeIIdehydroquinase, an essential enzyme in Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, is reported. The inhibitors reported here are mimics of the enol intermediate and the effect of substitution on C2 was studied. The crystal structures of Mycobacterium tuberculosistypeIIdehydroquinase in complex with three of the reported inhibitors are also described
