Ultimately, we developed the novel 4-pyridone-based FabI inhibitor PT166 that retained favorable pharmacokinetics and efficacy in a mouse model of infection with extended activity against Gram-negative and mycobacterial organisms. can cause a variety of bacterial infections ranging from common skin infections to life-threatening pneumonia or bacteremia (1). In particular, methicillin-resistant (MRSA)6 poses an imminent risk to immunocompromised patients in healthcare settings all over the world. In addition, the incidence of community-acquired MRSA infections has increased among otherwise healthy individuals (1, 2). The initial occurrence of strains resistant to vancomycin, an antibiotic used to treat severe MRSA infections (3), underlines the urgent need for novel anti-staphylococcal drugs. Isoniazid, a first-line prodrug for the treatment of tuberculosis, inhibits the type II fatty acid biosynthesis pathway of (4). The clinical success of isoniazid validates the type II fatty acid biosynthesis pathway as an important target for the development of new antibiotics (5). Bacterial fatty acid biosynthesis differs from its mammalian counterpart and is pivotal for the production of several cellular components, such as phospholipids (6, 7).
