pubmed-article:16298129 | pubmed:abstractText | The preparation and biological evaluation of 5-substituted-6-hydroxy-2-(anilino)pyrimidinones as a new class of DNA polymerase IIIC inhibitors, required for the replication of chromosomal DNA in Gram-positive bacteria, are described. These new dGTP competitive inhibitors displayed good levels of in vitro inhibition and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. A new class of dATP competitive inhibitors, 6-substituted-2-amino-5-alkyl-pyrimidin-4-ones, whose antibacterial activity was unaffected by serum, were identified. | lld:pubmed |
