for the development of new antibacterial agents. FabH, beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase III, is a particularly attractive target, since it is central to the initiation of fatty acid biosynthesis and is highly conserved among Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. Small molecules that inhibit FabH enzymatic activity have the potential to be candidates within a novel class of selective, nontoxic, broad-spectrum
脂肪酸生物合成对于细菌存活至关重要。该生物合成途径的成分已被确定为开发新型抗菌剂的有吸引力的靶标。FabH,β-酮酰基-ACP合酶III,是特别有吸引力的靶标,因为它是脂肪酸生物合成起始的关键,并且在革兰氏阳性和阴性细菌中高度保守。抑制FabH酶活性的小分子有可能成为一类新型的选择性,无毒,广谱抗菌剂的候选者。利用有关这些高度保守的活性位点的晶体学结构信息和基于结构的药物设计原理,开发了苯甲酰氨基苯甲酸系列化合物作为FabH的有效抑制剂。
