Identification and characterization of new structural scaffolds modulating the activity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis dihydroneopterin aldolase (FolB) in vitro

IntroductionAntifolates were among the first broad-spectrum compounds used as antimycobacterial agents and can still be of use when no other therapeutic options are available. The discovery of compounds targeting the essential folate synthesis pathway could lead to new therapeutic agents to treat tu...
