Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 May 15;17(10):2740-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.02.078. Epub 2007 Mar 3.

Abstract

The biological evaluation of imidazopiperidines as FAS II inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth has been carried out with a view to assessment of potential as lead compounds for the development of a new TB drug. A summary of the hit evaluation and current challenges is described herein.
