Abstract
A pyrazole-based compound, MS208, was previously identified as an inhibitor of UDP-Galactopyranose Mutase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtUGM). Targeting this enzyme is a novel therapeutic strategy for the development of new antituberculosis agents because MtUGM is an essential enzyme for the bacterial cell wall synthesis and it is not present in human. It was proposed that MS208 targets an allosteric site in MtUGM as MS208 followed a mixed inhibition model. DA10, an MS208 analogue, showed competitive inhibition rather than mixed inhibition. In this paper, we have used an integrated biophysical approach, including thermal shift assays, dynamic light scattering and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments, to show that MS208 and many analogues displayed unexpected aggregation behavior against MtUGM.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry provides an international forum for the publication of full original research papers and critical reviews on molecular interactions in key biological targets such as receptors, channels, enzymes, nucleotides, lipids and saccharides.
The aim of the journal is to promote a better understanding at the molecular level of life processes, and living organisms, as well as the interaction of these with chemical agents. A special feature will be that colour illustrations will be reproduced at no charge to the author, provided that the Editor agrees that colour is essential to the information content of the illustration in question.
