Isoprenoid alcohols utilization by malaria parasites
Plasmodium falciparum is the etiological agent of human malaria, one of the most widespread diseases in tropical and subtropical regions. Drug resistance is one of the biggest problems in controlling the disease, which leads to the need to discover new ...

Growth medium-dependent antimicrobial activity of early stage MEP pathway inhibitors.
The in vivo microenvironment of bacterial pathogens is often characterized by nutrient limitation. Consequently, conventional rich in vitro culture conditions used widely to evaluate antibacterial agents are often poorly predictive of in vivo activity ...

Lipophilic prodrugs of FR900098 are antimicrobial against Francisella novicida in vivo and in vitro and show GlpT independent efficacy. [PDF]
Bacteria, plants, and algae produce isoprenoids through the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway, an attractive pathway for antimicrobial drug development as it is present in prokaryotes and some lower eukaryotes but absent from human cells.

Synergy of fosmidomycin (FR-31564) and other antimicrobial agents [PDF]
Fosmidomycin (FR-31564), a phosphonic acid derivative, was combined with cefazolin, cephalexin, ampicillin, carbenicillin, ticarcillin, gentamicin, and trimethoprim. Synergy between fosmidomycin and penicillins or cephalosporins was found for 37 to 52% of the Enterobacteriaceae tested.

Antibacterial and antitubercular activity of fosmidomycin, FR900098, and their lipophilic analogs [PDF]
The nonmevalonate pathway (NMP) of isoprene biosynthesis is an exciting new route toward novel antibiotic development. Inhibitors against several enzymes in this pathway are currently under examination. A significant liability of many of these agents is poor cell penetration.

Fosmidomycin‐Clindamycin for the Treatment ofPlasmodium falciparumMalaria [PDF]
It has been demonstrated that fosmidomycin has good tolerability and rapid onset of action, but late recrudescences preclude its use alone; in vitro, clindamycin has been shown to act synergistically with fosmidomycin against Plasmodium falciparum. We conducted a study in pediatric outpatients with P.
