PG - 215-225 LID - 10.1007/s12539-017-0257-0 [doi] AB - Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading infectious disease which kills a huge number of people every year over a decade, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The conventional drugs in the market are no longer effective due to the increasing mycobacterial resistance to antibiotics. Hence, the need of finding efficient drugs to solve this multiple drug resistant factor is becoming an immediate issue. The first-line drugs in current practice for the treatment of TB emphasize on mycolic acid, which protects the bacteria from an immune response generated by the host. A key enzyme involved in this mycolic acid biosynthesis, M. tuberculosis beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase A (MTB-KasA) is a prime candidate in this study. Thiolactomycin is a natural product inhibitor has shown good inhibitory activity against MTB-KasA. Hence, several thiolactomycin derivatives collected from the literature were taken for absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity prediction, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies with MTB-KasA. The in silico drug designing methods used in this study suggests that the thiolactomycin derivatives are having a better binding activity against MTB-KasA and among them the ligand C14 is identified as a promising lead molecule to inhibit multidrug resistance of tuberculosis by showing a long time binding activity.
