M.Sc. (Chemistry) / Inhibition of mycothiol biosynthesis pathway has attracted attention from chemists and biochemists who aim to develop novel anti-TB drugs. A possible route to inhibit the production of mycothiol in cells may be via the inhibition of enzymes involved in the biosynthetic pathways. Molecular analogues that mimic mycothiol and containing tetrahedral-forming functional groups have been reported to show activity against mycothiol biosynthesis by inhibiting the enzymes in the mycothiol biosynthetic pathway...
