Adenosine phosphonate inhibitors of lipid II: alanyl tRNA ligase MurM from Streptococcus pneumoniae

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Aug 15;17(16):4654-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.05.071. Epub 2007 May 25.

Abstract

Adenosine and 2'-deoxyadenosine phosphonate transition state analogues act as the first inhibitors for the MurMN/FemABX family of tRNA-dependent ligases implicated in high-level penicillin resistance in gram-positive bacteria.
