Description
KSK-120 is a potent Chlamydia trachomatis inhibitor that targets the glucose metabolism pathway of Chlamydia trachomatis. KSK120 targets the glucose-6-phosphate (G-6P) metabolism pathway of C. trachomatis, supporting previous indications that G-6P metabolism is critical for C. trachomatis infectivity. Thus, KSK120 may be a useful tool to study chlamydial glucose metabolism and has the potential to be used in the treatment of C. trachomatis infections.
