Abstract

See full text

An aminoacylation/translation (AIT) system based on the protein synthesis system from the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, was used to screen chemical compounds for identifying inhibitors of protein synthesis. This system includes elongation factors: EF-Tu, EF-Ts and EF-G, aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (aaRS) specific for phenylalanine, PheRS, and ribosomes isolated from cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Compounds identified using this assay have been shown to contain broad spectrum activity against both Gram+ and Gram− pathogens. Methods of using the identified compounds, as well as derivatives and analogues of these compounds, as antimicrobial agents against bacterial infections are described.
