摘要
(Chemical Equation Presented) Parasite specific: The inhibition of myristoyl-CoA:protein N-myristoyltransferase (NMT) can lead to parasite death in culture. Herein we review recent work that supports the suitability of NMT as a parasite-specific drug target. The example shown illustrates the peptidomimetic compound 2, which is more stable, yet retains the Ser and Lys functional groups of compound 1 that are necessary for NMT inhibition. © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
