This invention provides a method for inhibiting the growth of a microorganism that expresses Peptide Deformylase by contacting the microorganism with an effective amount of the compound described herein. This method inhibits the growth of gram-positive and gram-negative microorganism, e.g.,
S. aureus, S. epidermidis, K. pneumoniae, E. aerogenes
, and
E. cloacae
. This method can be practiced in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo. Further provided is a method for alleviating the symptoms of an infection by a Peptide Deformylase expressing microorganism in a subject by administering or delivering to the subject an effective amount of the compound described above.
本发明提供了一种通过将微
生物与本文所述化合物的有效量接触来抑制表达肽变形酶的微
生物生长的方法。该方法抑制革兰氏阳性和革兰氏阴性微
生物的生长,例如
金黄色葡萄球菌,表皮葡萄球菌,肺炎克雷伯菌,空气发酵肠杆菌和克罗酸埃希氏菌。该方法可以在体外、体外和体内实施。此外,本发明还提供了一种通过向受体输送或给予上述化合物的有效量来减轻表达肽变形酶的微
生物感染引起的症状的方法。
