Synonyms: phenylisoxazole 4
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Compound M1 is a phenylisoxazole derivative, that was first identified as the lead for a new class of inhibitors of Arabidopsis thaliana 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate cytidyltransferase (IspD), an enzyme in the non-mevalonate (MEP) pathway of isoprenoid precursor biosynthesis [2]. It has subsequently been shown to demonstrate promising antimycobacterial activity, inhibiting Mycobacterium tuberculosis FadD32 and FadD28, members of the fatty acyl-AMP ligase family of enzymes that are essential for the biosynthesis of mycolic acids [1].
