Target+-+1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate+reductoisomerase+(H.+pylori)

1-Deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR) is a key enzyme of the pathway that catalyzes the rearrangement and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent reduction of 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate (DXP) to MEP. The unique properties of DXR make it a remarkable and rational target for drug design. First, it is a vital enzyme for synthesis of isoprenoids in algae, plants, several eubacteria including the pathogenic bacteria like Bacillus anthracis, Helicobacter pylori, Yersinia pestis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the malarial parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. Second, there are no functional equivalents to DXR in humans, making it an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. Third, DXR appears to be a valid target and the results from fosmidomycin (1), the only available DXR inhibitor under clinical trials, suggests synergistic effects with the lincosamide antibiotics, lincomycin and clindamycin.
