Abstract

Background: New antibacterial compounds are urgently needed; DNA gyrase is a well-validated target. Results: Diospyrin and other naphthoquinones inhibit DNA gyrase by binding to a novel site in the B subunit. Conclusion: Naphthoquinones are inhibitors of gyrase with a novel mechanism of action. Significance: Naphthoquinones have potential as antibacterial compounds against TB. 2013 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc
