Discovery of Quinazolone Pyridiniums as Potential Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Agents by Jie Dai, Qianyue Li, Ziyi Li, Zhonglin Zang, Yan Luo, Chenghe Zhou

“…Surprisingly, active <b>19a</b> was found to trigger the conformational change in PBP2a of MRSA to open the active site, which might account for its high inhibition against MRSA. In addition, the little effect of molecule <b>19a</b> on the production of reactive oxygen species indicated that bacterial death was not caused by oxidative stress. …”
