JNJ-6640
JNJ-6640 is an inhibitor targeting mycobacterial PurF (the first enzyme in the de novo purine biosynthesis pathway) with potent anti-tuberculosis activity. JNJ-6640 exhibits bactericidal activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro, with an MIC90 of 8.6 nM. JNJ-6640 disrupts de novo purine biosynthesis, inhibits M. tuberculosis DNA replication in vivo. JNJ-6640 exhibits anti-tuberculosis efficacy in acutely infected mice. JNJ-6640 can be used for the study of tuberculosis[1].
