Abstract
Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is a global threat and innovative approaches such as using adjuvants of anti-TB therapeutics are required to combat it. High-throughput screening yielded two lead scaffolds of inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) acetyltransferase Eis, whose upregulation causes resistance to the anti-TB drug kanamycin (KAN). Chemical optimization on these scaffolds resulted in potent Eis inhibitors. One compound restored the activity of KAN in a KAN-resistant Mtb strain. Model structures of Eis-inhibitor complexes explain the structure-activity relationship.Entities:
