Abstract

E-9: You sunk my battleship! Potent ene–yne-based inhibitors of type II dehydroquinase are described. The majority of the compounds exhibited nanomolar inhibition of the <i>Streptomyces coelicolor</i>, <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> and <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> type II dehydroquinases. The inhibitors also possessed moderate activity against the growth of <i>M. tuberculosis</i> in vitro.
