Potent Bactericidal Antimycobacterials Targeting the Chaperone ClpC1 Based on the Depsipeptide Natural Products Ecumicin and Ohmyungsamycin A
Bibliographic record
Abstract
(Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB). Herein, we describe the design and synthesis of a library of analogues of these two natural products using an efficient solid-phase synthesis and late-stage macrolactamization strategy. Lead analogues possessed potent activity against Mtb in vitro (minimum inhibitory concentration 125-500 nM) and were shown to inhibit protein degradation by the mycobacterial ClpC1-ClpP1P2 protease with an associated enhancement of ClpC1 ATPase activity. The most promising analogue from the series exhibited rapid bactericidal killing activity against Mtb, capable of sterilizing cultures after 7 days, and retained bactericidal activity against hypoxic non-replicating Mtb. This natural product analogue was also active in an in vivo zebrafish model of infection.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
