Streptomycin-Starved Mycobacterium tuberculosis 18b, a Drug Discovery Tool for Latent Tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Neeraj Dhar, Claudia Sala, Ruben Hartkoorn, Ming Zhang

Mycobacterium tuberculosis 18b, a streptomycin (STR)-dependent mutant that enters a viable but nonreplicating state in the absence of STR, has been developed as a simple model for drug testing against dormant bacilli. Here, we further evaluated the STR-sta ...

Benzothiazinones (BTZ) are a new class of drug candidates to combat tuberculosis that inhibit decaprenyl-phosphoribose epimerase (DprE1), an essential enzyme involved in arabinan biosynthesis. Using the checkerboard method and cell viability assays, we hav ...

Towards a new tuberculosis drug: pyridomycin - nature's isoniazid

Stewart Cole, Florence Pojer, Claudia Sala, Ruben Hartkoorn, Joao Pedro De Almeida Neres, Swapna Uplekar, Raju Mukherjee, Sophie Magnet

Tuberculosis, a global threat to public health, is becoming untreatable due to widespread drug resistance to frontline drugs such as the InhA-inhibitor isoniazid. Historically, by inhibiting highly vulnerable targets, natural products have been an importan ...

Genome-Wide Definition of the SigF Regulon in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Jacques Rougemont, Claudia Sala, Ruben Hartkoorn, Philippe Busso, Swapna Uplekar

In Mycobacterium tuberculosis the alternative sigma factor SigF controls the expression of a particular subset of genes by altering RNA polymerase specificity. Here, we utilize two genome-wide approaches to identify SigF-binding sites: chromatin immunoprec ...

Structural Basis for Benzothiazinone-Mediated Killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Paul Joseph Dyson, Stewart Cole, John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Florence Pojer, Joao Pedro De Almeida Neres, Elizabeth Fullam

The benzothiazinone BTZ043 is a tuberculosis drug candidate with nanomolar whole-cell activity. BTZ043 targets the DprE1 catalytic component of the essential enzyme decaprenylphosphoryl-beta-D-ribofuranose-2'-epimerase, thus blocking biosynthesis of arabin ...

A Point Mutation in cycA Partially Contributes to the D-cycloserine Resistance Trait of Mycobacterium bovis BCG Vaccine Strains

Stewart Cole, Swapna Uplekar, Jeffrey Chen

In mycobacteria, CycA a D-serine, L-and D-alanine, and glycine transporter also functions in the uptake of D-cycloserine, an important second-line anti-tubercular drug. A single nucleotide polymorphism identified in the cycA gene of BCG was hypothesized to ...

Scaling up interventions to achieve global tuberculosis control: progress and new developments

Stewart Cole

Tuberculosis is still one of the most important causes of death worldwide. The 2010 Lancet tuberculosis series provided a comprehensive overview of global control efforts and challenges. In this update we review recent progress. With improved control effor ...

Detection and treatment of subclinical tuberculosis

Stewart Cole

Reduction of active disease by preventive therapy has the potential to make an important contribution towards the goal of tuberculosis (TB) elimination. This report summarises discussions amongst a Working Group convened to consider areas of research that ...

2-piperazin-1-yl-4h-1,3-benzothiazin-4-one derivatives and their use for the treatment of mammalian infections

Stewart Cole

The present invention relates to new 2-piperazin-1-yl-4H-1,3-benzothiazin- 4-one derivatives and their use for the treatment of mammalian infections caused by bacteria, especially diseases like tuberculosis (TB), Buruli ulcer and leprosy that result from i ...

Benzothiazinones Are Suicide Inhibitors of Mycobacterial Decaprenylphosphoryl-β-

Stewart Cole, Kai Johnsson, Florence Pojer, Claudia Trefzer

Benzothiazinones (BTZs) are antituberculosis drug candidates with nanomolar bactericidal activity against tubercle bacilli. Here we demonstrate that BTZs are suicide substrates of the FAD-dependent decaprenylphosphoryl-beta-D-ribofuranose 2'-oxidase DprE1, ...
