A new small molecule inhibitor of bacterial cell division has been discovered using a high-throughput screen in Escherichia coli. Although the lead screening hit (534F6) exhibited modest inhibition of the GTPase activity of FtsZ (20 +/- 5% at 100 mu M of compound), a primary target for bacterial cell division inhibitors, several analogs caused potent bacterial growth inhibition with negligible antagonism of FtsZ GTPase activity. A library of analogs has been prepared and several alkyne-tagged photo-affinity probes have been synthesized for use in experiments to elucidate the primary target of this compound.
