In this sense, is very important to develop more selective drugs, capable of reduce the duration of treat…
The purpose of this project is to complement the PhD project entitled 'New tuberculostatic drug candidates: design, synthesis and biological activity of phosphopantetheine adenililtrasferase inhibitors'. In this project, we are studying the enzyme phosphopantetheine adenililtrasferase (PPAT) as a new target in the search for selective inhibitors towards anti-tuberculosis (TB) drug candida…
