Rational Design, Synthesis, and Preliminary Structure–Activity Relationships of α-Substituted-2-Phenylcyclopropane Carboxylic Acids as Inhibitors of <i>Salmonella typhimurium</i> <i>O</i>-Acetylserine Sulfhydrylase
affects the physiology of unicellular organisms. As a continuation of our efforts toward the synthesis of OASS inhibitors, in this work we have used a combination of computational and spectroscopic approaches to rationally design, synthesize, and test a series of substituted 2-phenylcyclopropane carboxylic acids that bind to the two S. typhymurium OASS isoforms at nanomolar concentrations.
