QUICK LINKS
Prothionamide is a chemical compound that functions as an antibacterial agent in research and development applications. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting the synthesis of mycolic acids in the cell wall of certain bacteria, specifically Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This disruption of mycolic acid synthesis leads to the impairment of cell wall formation and ultimately the death of the bacterial cells. Prothionamide achieves this by targeting the enzyme InhA, which is involved in the biosynthesis of mycolic acids. By interfering with this specific molecular target, prothionamide disrupts the structural integrity of the bacterial cell wall, rendering the bacteria more susceptible to other antibacterial agents.
