Abstract
The InhA-related enoyl-ACP reductase, an enzyme involved in fatty acid synthesis, is one of the best validated targets for the development of anti-tubercular agents. However, the majority of isoniazid (INH)-resistant clinical strains are observed mainly due to the emergence of KatG mutants that do not form an INH-NAD adduct. Thus compounds that directly inhibit InhA avoiding activation by KatG would be promising candidates for combating MDR-TB. Herein, some predominant examples of InhA direct inhibitors recently developed are reviewed and special attention is paid to 3Dstructures of InhA in drug design process.
