Comment: Pyridomycin is a natural product with potent antimycobacterial activity, produced by the Actinobacteria Streptomyces pyridomyceticus and Dactylosporangium fulvum, and which was first reported in 1953 [3]. It is an inhibitor of Mycobacterium enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase (InhA) [2], a clinically validated target and key enzyme involved in the synthesis of mycolic acid, an essential component of the mycobacterial cell wall.
