A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

About

We are currently developing modified nucleos(t)ides as substrate mimics to provide insight into enzyme substrate recognition, as well as libraries of functionalized heterocycles useful for the fragment based approach. Novel enzymatic routes (transglycosylation, deamination, phosphorylation) as an alternative to chemical approaches are also considered. The synthesized molecules find applications in the identification of inhibitors of essential bacterial enzymes (TMPK from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, DNPH1, an N-hydrolase involved in cell proliferation, NAD kinases from Gram-positive bacteria). In addition, the new chemical entities implement the in house chemical libraries.

Inhibitors of bacterial NAD kinases

Sylvie Pochet (PI)

NAD mimics as potential antibacterial agents The NAD(P) biosynthesis pathways have attracted recent interest as a source of enzyme targets for the development of antimicrobial agents. Our own research focused on the structure-based development […]

Protein synthesis machinery of Trypanosomatid as a therapeutic target

Nadia Izadi-Pruneyre (PI)

Pathogenic protozoans of the trypanosomatid group still remain a major world health problem. Cycling between insect vectors and mammalian hosts, Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease, while over 20 Leishmania species […]

Inhibitors of the 2’-deoxyribonucleotide N-hydrolase DNPH1, an enzyme involved in cellular growth and angiogenesis

Sylvie Pochet (PI)

Nucleoside analogues as potential antitumor agents. This project aims to characterize and validate the nucleotide N-hydrolase DNPH1 as a new target in oncology. Inhibition of Rcl alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutic drugs […]

Inhibitors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa IMPDH

Sophie Vichier-Guerre (PI)

IMPDH from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (see Inosine-5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase project) was found to be allosterically regulated by MgATP (Labesse et al., 2013). The discovery of this mode of regulation of the catalytic activity, never described before […]

Inhibitors of TMPK from Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Hélène Munier-Lehmann (PI)

TMPK from Mycobacterium tuberculosis belongs to the NMPK family, which was chosen as potential targets for the development of new antimicrobials (see “Nucleoside monophosphate kinases” project). Based on the 3D-structure of TMPK from M. […]

Drug Discovery & Screening at Institut Pasteur

The Technological Targeted Action Drug Discovery and Screening (ATC-DDS) coordinates projects and collaborations at the Institut Pasteur Paris campus on therapeutic development. It raises awareness for DDS in basic research projects and stimulates intra-campus […]

Antimicrobial resistance

Antimicrobial resistance is dramatically increasing worldwide and is becoming one of the most urgent public health threats. There is an urgent need for actions to reverse the curve of antimicrobial resistance dissemination and to […]
