Design, Synthesis, and Antimicrobial Activity of Novel Cyt- bd Inhibitors Targeting Energy Compensation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) poses a growing threat, necessitating new therapeutic strategies. The cytochrome bcc-aa3 oxidase (Cyt-bcc) is an attractive target, yet single-agent inhibition fails owing to compensation by the alternative cytochrome bd terminal oxidase (Cyt-bd). Herein, we describe a...
