The Fragment-Based Development of a Benzofuran Hit as a New Class of <i>Escherichia coli</i> DsbA Inhibitors

A fragment-based drug discovery approach was taken to target the thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase enzyme DsbA from <i>Escherichia coli</i> (<i>Ec</i>DsbA). This enzyme is critical for the correct folding of virulence factors in many pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, and small...
