Comment: JH-LPH-33 is an analogue of AZ1 and optimized lead from a series of sulfonyl piperazine compounds that inhibit UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine hydrolase (LpxH), an essential enzyme in the lipopolysaccharide synthesis pathway of bacteria [1]. LpxH is conserved in the majority of Gram-negative bacteria but absent in human, and is an attractive target for antibacterial development.
