Rationally Designed Nucleoside Antibiotics That Inhibit Siderophore Biosynthesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

A rationally designed nucleoside inhibitor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth (MIC(99) = 0.19 microM) that disrupts siderophore biosynthesis was identified. The activity is due to inhibition of the adenylate-forming enzyme MbtA which is involved in biosynthesis of the mycobactins.
