ZUSAMMENFASSUNG
The development of low muM inhibitors of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis phosphatase PtpA is reported. The most potent of these inhibitors (K(i)=1.4+/-0.3 microM) was found to be selective when tested against a panel of human tyrosine and dual-specificity phosphatases (11-fold vs the highly homologous HCPtpA, and >70-fold vs all others tested). Modeling the inhibitor-PtpA complexes explained the structure-activity relationships observed in vitro and revealed further possibilities for compound development.
