Fumarate Reductase Activity Maintains an Energized Membrane in Anaerobic Mycobacterium tuberculosis

TL;DR: A chemostat model of M. tuberculosis where growth rate was a function of dissolved oxygen concentration to analyze metabolic adaptation to hypoxia and found major realignments of central metabolism are consistent with a model of oxygen-induced stasis in which an energized membrane is maintained by coupling the reductive branch of the TCA cycle to succinate secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metronidazole prevents reactivation of latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in macaques

TL;DR: The data in the nonhuman primate model of active and latent TB supports targeting bacteria in hypoxic environments for preventing reactivation of latent infection and possibly shortening the duration of therapy in active TB.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure-activity relationships of antitubercular nitroimidazoles. 2. Determinants of aerobic activity and quantitative structure-activity relationships.

TL;DR: It is shown that substitution of this oxygen by either nitrogen or sulfur yielded equipotent analogues of the imidazole ring and significant improvements in potency were realized by extending the linker region between the 6-(S) position and the terminal hydrophobic aromatic substituent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and antitubercular activity of 7-(R)- and 7-(S)-methyl-2-nitro-6-(S)-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzyloxy)-6,7-dihydro-5H-imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazines, analogues of PA-824.

TL;DR: Results suggest that the nitroreductase that initially recognizes PA-824 is somewhat insensitive to substitutions at the 7-position, suggesting that inherent lattice stability is not likely to be a major factor in limiting solubility.
