These findings establish BVL3572S as a promising lead compound acting through a previously unexploited, multitarget mechanism, and display strong synergy with the antitubercular drug D-cycloserine.
The found that the S15A, R145A or N175A mutants showed markedly reduced activity, whereas the K14A mutation completely abolished activity, and deletion of residues 27-101 (Δ27-101) led to a significant loss of function.
These findings provide a mechanistic rationale for MtbCBS inhibition, and the unexplored roles of these key residues can be considered in the design of next-generation inhibitors targeting CBS enzymes implicated in infectious diseases, cancer, and neurological disorders.

Despite the availability of multiple treatment options, the emergence of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains presents a significant health concern worldwide. This necessitates the development of novel antitubercular agents with distinct mechanisms of action. Diaminoquinazolines (DAQs) have demonstra...

An AlphaFold2-predicted structural model of Mtb EthA is reported and it is suggested that flexible peripheral regions may constrain catalytic activity, offering insights into ETH activation and potential mechanisms of drug resistance.
This study supports co-targeting Cyt-bd and Cyt-bcc as a therapeutic strategy for drug-resistant tuberculosis by finding a structure–activity relationship study starting from the previously identified Cyt-bd inhibitor 12, leading to the discovery of 17aa (YH-685).
A new series of phthalimide derivatives was synthesized and structurally characterized through 1H NMR and 13C NMR, with further optimization performed at the DFT level, identifying C15 and C17 as promising lead compounds for further optimization as multitarget enzyme inhibitors.
