the very acidic amide hydrogen. Compound 30 is only soluble in DMSO at low<br />

concentrations; the same phenomena exists for the precursor acid. Compound 56,<br />

however, dissolves in a variety <strong>of</strong> solvents which is why it was used for the<br />

screening against other bacteria.<br />

The bacteria used in this screening were selected based on a structural motif<br />

<strong>of</strong> their IMPDHs. Compound 56 because <strong>of</strong> its solubility in the prescribed buffer for<br />

this screen over compound 30 was selected <strong>and</strong> tested for its minimum<br />

concentration necessary for complete inhibition <strong>of</strong> bacterial growth. Compound 56<br />

exhibited significant activity against Franciscella tularensis with a MIC in the<br />

nanomolar range.<br />
