Microbial-based natural products as potential inhibitors targeting DNA gyrase B of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: an in silico study by Tilal Elsaman, Magdi Awadalla Mohamed, Malik Suliman Mohamed, Eyman Mohamed Eltayib, Abualgasim Elgaili Abdalla

“…Consequently, targeting this enzyme is of particular interest in developing new drugs for the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis, including multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB).MethodsIn the present study, multiple computational tools were adopted to screen a microbial-based natural products database (NPAtlas) for potential inhibitors of the ATPase activity of MBT DNA gyrase.Results and discussionTwelve hits were initially identified as the top candidates based on their docking scores (ranging from −9.491 to −10.77 kcal/mol) and binding free energies (−60.37 to −73.21 kcal/mol). …”
