Design, synthesis and evaluation of second generation MurF inhibitors based on a cyanothiophene scaffold

MurF ligase is a crucial enzyme that catalyses the ultimate intracellular step of bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis, and thus represents an attractive target for antibacterial drug discovery. We designed, synthesized and evaluated a new series of cyanothiophene-based inhibitors of MurF enzymes fr...
