The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant pathogens are widely believed to endanger human health. New drug targets and lead compounds exempt from cross-resistance with existing drugs are urgently needed. We report on the synthesis and properties of "reverse" thia analogs of fosmidomycin, which inhibit the first committed enzyme of a metabolic pathway that is essential for the causative agents of tuberculosis and malaria but is absent in the human host. Notably, IspC displays a high level of enantioselectivity for an α-substituted fosmidomycin derivative.
