Abstract
AG205 was identified from high-throughput screening as a potent inhibitor of FabK, the enoyl-ACP reductase in Streptococcus pneumoniae. Specific inhibition of lipid biosynthesis in a macromolecular biosynthesis assay and identification of an Ala141Ser substitution in FabK from spontaneous AG205-resistant mutants indicated that AG205 exerts antibacterial activity against S. pneumoniae through the specific inhibition of FabK.Entities:
