Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • 15 chemical inhibitors against Mycobacterium tuberculosis acetohydroxyacid synthase (MTB-AHAS) were identified. • Five hit compounds showed high inhibition against MTB-AHAS at low micromolar concentrations. • Five hit compounds exhibited anti-mycobacterial activity against drug-resistant M. tuberculosis strains with MICs of 0.5–2 μM. • Two inhibitors among the hit compounds specifically inhibited Escherichia coli expressing MTB-AHAS. |
