Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
Evybactin is a DNA gyrase inhibitor, with selective activity against M. tuberculosis, binding to an allosteric site of the enzyme which overlaps with synthetic thiophene poisons [1]. The mechanism of selectivity may be due to the uptake of this hydrophilic compound into the cell by BacA, a multi-solute membrane transporter [1]. |
