Abstract:
:Mycobacterium tuberculosis pantothenate synthetase is a potential anti-tuberculosis target, and a high-throughput screening system was previously developed to identify its inhibitors. Using a similar system, we screened a small library of compounds and identified actinomycin D (ActD) as a weak inhibitor of pantothenate synthetase. A new method was established to discover more effective inhibitors by determining the molecular mechanism of ActD inhibition followed by structure-based virtual screening. The molecular interaction of inhibition was determined by circular dichroism and tryptophan fluorescence quenching. The structure-based search and virtual screening were performed using the Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) program and SYBYL 7.5, respectively. Two inhibitors were identified with an IC(50) for pantothenate synthetase that was at least ten times better than that of ActD.
