MbtI Inhibition studies aid in the future design of anti-tubercular agents and broad-spectrum antibiotics.  Mimics of the enzyme-bound intermediate of MbtI, isochorismate, prove to be significantly more potent inhibitors than the substrate, chorismate mimics <ref name= "manos-turvey"</ref>. Specifically, <scene name='69/694235/3rv6_with_vae1/1'>2-hydroxybenzoate-based inhibitors</scene> that contain extended hydrophobic enol ether side chains at C3 in place of the enol-pyruvate side chain found in chorismate and isochorismate.
