2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one compounds and compositions as antimicrobial and antimalarial agents targeting enoyl-ACP reductase of type II fatty acid synthesis pathway and other cell growth pathways

摘要

The current invention presents enoyl-ACP reductase, an enzyme of the type II fatty acid synthesis pathway as a target for treating human malarias and other infectious diseases. We also present in the current invention, 2-thioxothiazolidin-4-ones as antimicrobial and antimalarial agents. We provide 2-thioxothiazolidin-4-ones as antimicrobial and antimalarial agents either alone or in combination with other known antimicrobial and antimalarial agents with or without added adjuvants or diluents or carriers.
