Validation of drug-like inhibitors against Mycobacterium tuberculosis L-aspartate α-decarboxylase using nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR).

The catalytic activity of L-aspartate α-decarboxylase (ADC) is essential for the growth of several micro-organisms, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), and has triggered efforts for the development of pharmaceutically active compounds against tuberculosis. The present study is a continuation...
