Reference EntryDOI

Antibacterial Agents: Basis of Action

TL;DR: Antibacterial agents alleviate infection through a variety of modes of action including the inhibition of protein, nucleic acid and cell wall synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulatory opportunities to encourage technology solutions to antibacterial drug resistance

TL;DR: The 'Urgent Need' Working Party to address the regeneration of antibacterial drug discovery and development identified a number of issues, including increased application of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic principles to expedite drug development; the need to prioritize licensing of drugs active in life-threatening infections; and expansion of the use of surrogate markers and rapid point of care diagnostics to facilitate drug development.
Journal ArticleDOI

SB 205952, a novel semisynthetic monic acid analog with at least two modes of action.

TL;DR: The biological properties of SB 205952, a nitrofuryl oxazole derivative of monic acid, differ from those of the closely related antibacterial agent mupirocin, and it is proposed that it possesses one or more mechanisms of action in addition to IRS inhibition, probably mediated by its nitrol component.
Journal ArticleDOI

6-Arylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines as novel ATP-competitive inhibitors of bacterial D-alanine:D-alanine ligase.

TL;DR: New ATP-competitive inhibitors of DdlB are discovered, which may serve as a starting point for development of more potent inhibitors ofDdlB that could include both, an ATP- competitive and D-Ala competitive moiety.
