Targeting Tuberculosis: Novel Scaffolds for Inhibiting Cytochrome bd Oxidase

Open access

Preprint — published as 10.1021/acs.jcim.4c00344 · Paper page

Abstract

Discovered in the 1920s, cytochrome bd is a terminal oxidase that has received renewed attention as a drug target since its atomic structure was first solved in 2016. Only found in prokaryotes, we study it here as a drug target for Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ). Most previous drug discovery efforts towards cytochrome bd have involved analogs of the canonical substrate quinone, known as Aurachin D. Here we report six new cytochrome bd inhibitor scaffolds determined from a computational screen totaling over one million molecules and confirmed on target activity through in vitro testing. These scaffolds provide new avenues for lead optimization towards Mtb therapeutics.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
