  abstract  = {This dissertation focuses on Mip (macrophage infectivity potentiator protein) inhibitors in response to increasing antibiotic resistance. The study follows an antivirulence approach, which aims to inhibit the non-essential Mip protein without exerting too much selective pressure. Three focus areas were (1) development and synthesis of a fluorescent probe for screening Mip inhibitors via fluorescence polarization; (2) design and synthesis of broad spectrum Mip inhibitors bearing a side chain; and (3) understanding the metabolism of Mip inhibitors and identification of active metabolites. A sub-study addressed the biotinylation of anti-leishmanial compounds from Valeriana wallichii rhizomes, with three tracer molecules synthesized for future pull-down experiments.},
