Staphylococcus aureus produces a golden carotenoid virulence factor called staphyloxanthin (STX), and we report here the inhibition of the enzyme, dehydrosqualene synthase (CrtM), responsible for the first committed step in STX biosynthesis. The most acti

Structure-activity relationship studies on a series of 1-((2- hydroxyethoxy)methyl)-5-(3-(substituted-phenoxy)benzyl)uracils as inhibitors of murine liver uridine phosphorylase have led to compounds with IC50s as low as 1.4 nM. The two most potent compounds, 10j (3-cyanophenoxy) and 11f (3-chlorophenoxy) were tested in vive for effects on steady-state concentrations of circulating uridine in mice and rats. Both compounds were substantially more efficacious than BAU (5-benzylacyclouridine) both in vitro and in vivo.
