Disabling the bacterial capacity to cause infection is an innovative approach that has attracted significant attention to fight against superbugs. A relevant target for anti-virulence drug discovery is the type I dehydroquinase (DHQ1) enzyme. It was shown that the 2-hydroxyethylammonium derivative 3 has in vitro activity since it causes the covalent modification of the catalytic lysine residue of DHQ1 ...
