Discovered and developed taxane based novel anti-tuberculosis agents that target
the bacterial tubulin homolog FtsZ and can overcome multi-drug resistant
tuberculosis
Designed and synthesized benzimidazole compounds as novel anti-tuberculosis
agents
Expressed and purified wild-type FtsZ proteins
• Evaluated the ability of the taxane and benzimidazole-based compounds to
inhibit FtsZ polymerization and GTP hydrolysis in vitro
