a characteristic of Gram-positive organisms, the 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate prenyltransferase (MenA) inhibitors 1a and 2a act as selective antibacterial agents against organisms such as methicillin-resistant Stapylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE), and Mycobacterium spp. Growth of drug-resistant Gram-positive organisms was sensitive to the MenA inhibitors, indicating that menaquinone
由于在电子传输系统中利用甲萘醌是革兰氏阳性生物的特征,因此1,4-二羟基-2-萘甲酸异戊二烯基转移酶(MenA)抑制剂1a和2a充当针对诸如耐甲氧西林的金黄色葡萄球菌的生物的选择性抗菌剂。 (MRSA),表皮葡萄球菌(MRSE)和分枝杆菌属。耐药革兰氏阳性生物的生长对MenA抑制剂敏感,表明甲萘醌合成是革兰氏阳性生物中有效的新药物靶标。
