Synthetases' Achilles' heel? Selective inhibition of bacterialaminoacyltRNAsynthetases was previously accomplished by using aminoacyl sulfamoyladenosines and substituting aryltetrazole moieties for the adenine heterocycle. While these compounds did not prove successful in vivo, conjugation to peptidic Trojan horses or siderophore drug conjugate (SDC) transport modules envisaged improved uptake.
