Fatty acid biosynthesis is essential for bacterial survival. Components of this biosynthetic pathway have been identified as attractive targets for the development of new antibacterial agents. FabH, beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase III, is a particularly attractive target, since it is central to the initiation of fatty acid biosynthesis and is highly conserved among Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. Small molecules that inhibit FabH enzymatic activity have the potential to be candidates within a novel class of selective, nontoxic, broad-spectrum antibacterials. Using crystallographic structural information on these highly conserved active sites and structure based drug design principles, a benzoylaminobenzoic acid series of compounds was developed as potent inhibitors of FabH. This inhibitor class demonstrates strong antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and selected Gram-negative organisms.
