Lansoprazole is an antituberculous prodrug targeting cytochrome bc1
Better antibiotics capable of killing multi-drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis are urgently needed. Despite extensive drug discovery efforts, only a few promising candidates are on the horizon and alternative screening protocols are required. Here, by testing a panel of FDA-approved drugs in a host cell-based assay, we show that the blockbuster drug lansoprazole (Prevacid), a gastric pro...
متن کاملCytochrome bc1 complexes of microorganisms.
The cytochrome bc1 complex is the most widely occurring electron transfer complex capable of energy transduction. Cytochrome bc1 complexes are found in the plasma membranes of phylogenetically diverse photosynthetic and respiring bacteria, and in the inner mitochondrial membrane of all eucaryotic cells. In all of these species the bc1 complex transfers electrons from a low-potential quinol to a...
متن کاملCrystallization of cytochrome bc1 complex.
Complex III (cytochrome bc1 particle; ubiquinol:ferricytochrome c oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.2.2) was purified from beef heart mitochondria by a combination of hydrophobic interaction and affinity chromatography. By washing the complex with detergent on the hydrophobic interaction column, phospholipids were effectively depleted; 7 mol of cardiolipin per mol of cytochrome c1 was retained in the fin...
متن کاملAn FtsZ-targeting prodrug with oral antistaphylococcal efficacy in vivo.
The bacterial cell division protein FtsZ represents a novel antibiotic target that has yet to be exploited clinically. The benzamide PC190723 was among the first FtsZ-targeting compounds to exhibit in vivo efficacy in a murine infection model system. Despite its initial promise, the poor formulation properties of the compound have limited its potential for clinical development. We describe here...
متن کاملRapid electron transfer between monomers when the cytochrome bc1 complex dimer is reduced through center N.
We have obtained evidence for electron transfer between cytochrome b subunits of the yeast bc(1) complex dimer by analyzing pre-steady state reduction of cytochrome b in the presence of center P inhibitors. The kinetics and extent of cytochrome b reduced by quinol in the presence of variable concentrations of antimycin decreased non-linearly and could only be fitted to a model in which electron...
