Peptide deformylase (PDF) has been identified as a promising antibacterial and herbicide target. A structurally novel class of inhibitors containing a 2-thioxo-thiazolidin-4-one heterocycle substituted by an arylidene group at the 5-position and a hexanoic acid side chain at the 3-position was discovered independently via high-throughput screening and virtual ligand screening. Data mining and analogue synthesis established a structure-activity relationship for the side chain region that is consistent with the docked structure.
