Mycobacterium tuberculosis research compounds act on enzymes and proteins that the tuberculosis bacterium depends on. The genome of the laboratory strain H37Rv, sequenced in 1998, encodes an unusually large set of enzymes for lipid metabolism. Several entries inhibit decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribose 2′-epimerase (DprE1), an enzyme required for arabinan synthesis in the cell wall. Benzothiazinones, represented here by BTZ043 (BTZ038, BTZ044) Racemate, were shown in 2009 to kill the bacterium by blocking this step. AZ7371 and DprE1-IN-8 are listed as further inhibitors of the same enzyme. PXYC1 and PXYC2 are antagonists of ribosomal protein S1 (RpsA), and MtTMPK-IN-8 inhibits mycobacterial thymidylate kinase. Cefsulodin sodium hydrate is listed as an inhibitor of mycobacterial protein tyrosine phosphatase B (mPTPB), a secreted virulence factor.
