Antimycobacterial Activities of Isoxyl and New Derivatives through the Inhibition of Mycolic Acid Synthesis†

Phetsuksiri, Benjawan, Baulard, Alain R., Cooper, Andrea M., Minnikin, David E., Douglas, James D., Besra, Gurdyal S., ...

Isoxyl (ISO), a thiourea (thiocarlide; 4,4′-diisoamyloxythiocarbanilide), demonstrated potent activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MIC, 2.5 μg/ml), Mycobacterium bovis BCG (MIC, 0.5...

Structure of a New Glycolipid from the Mycobacterium avium-Mycobacterium intracellulare Complex

Watanabe, Motoko, Ohta, Akihiro, Sasaki, Shun-ichi, Minnikin, David E.

From the lipid fraction of a freeze-dried cell mass of a strain of the Mycobacterium avium-Mycobacterium intracellulare complex, a new glycolipid was isolated and was characterized as...

A Type II Pathway for Fatty Acid Biosynthesis Presents Drug Targets in Plasmodium falciparum

Waller, Ross F., Ralph, Stuart A., Reed, Michael B., Su, Vanessa, Douglas, James D., Minnikin, David E., ...

It has long been held that the malaria parasite, Plasmodium sp., is incapable of de novo fatty acid synthesis. This view has recently been overturned with the emergence of data for the presence of a...

Mycolic acid biosynthesis and enzymic characterization of the beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase A-condensing enzyme from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Kremer, Laurent, Dover, Lynn G, Carrère, Séverine, Nampoothiri, K Madhavan, Lesjean, Sarah, Brown, Alistair K, ...

Mycolic acids consist of long-chain alpha-alkyl-beta-hydroxy fatty acids that are produced by successive rounds of elongation catalysed by a type II fatty acid synthase (FAS-II). A key feature in the...

Loss of a Mycobacterial Gene Encoding a Reductase Leads to an Altered Cell Wall Containing β-oxo- Mycolic Acid Analogs and Accumulation of Ketones

Bhatt, Apoorva, Brown, Alistair K., Singh, Albel, Minnikin, David E., Besra, Gurdyal S.

Mycolic acids are essential components of the mycobacterial cell wall. In this study, we show that a gene encoding a reductase involved in the final step of mycolic acid biosynthesis can be deleted...
