Novel HPPK (Bacterial Protein) Inhibitors for Use as Antibacterial Agents

Abstract: Research and development leading to the discovery of novel antibiotics has waned in recent years. At the same time, the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance has compounded the global danger to human health from bacterial infections. The bacterial protein 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin pyrophosphokinase (HPPK) is a key enzyme...
