Targeting prolyl-tRNA synthetase via a series of ATP-mimetics to accelerate drug discovery against toxoplasmosis.

The prolyl-tRNA synthetase (PRS) is a validated drug target for febrifugine and its synthetic analog halofuginone (HFG) against multiple apicomplexan parasites including Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii. Here, a novel ATP-mimetic centered on 1-(pyridin-4-yl) pyrrolidin-2-one (PPL) scaffol...
