Insights into Natural Products from Marine-Derived Fungi with Antimycobacterial Properties: Opportunities and Challenges by Muhammad Azhari, Novi Merliani, Marlia Singgih, Masayoshi Arai, Elin Julianti

“…Several compounds exhibit potent activity through uncommon mechanisms, including the inhibition of mycobacterial protein tyrosine phosphatases (MptpB/MptpA), protein kinase PknG, ATP synthase and the disruption of mycobacterial DNA via G-quadruplex stabilization. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) trends are highlighted for the most potent agents, illuminating how specific functional groups underpin target engagement and potency. …”
