Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. Whole-cell activity of MAC-0452936 analogs correlated with in vitro Lgt activity (A) Antibacterial activity (MICs) of MAC-0452936 (1) and synthetic analogs 2–7 against E. coli DtolC-pore and E. coli BW25113 with SPR741 (8 mg/mL) compared with their inhibitory activity (IC50s) in vitro against Lgt purified using either DDM- or amphipol lipid matrices. (B) Correlation of whole-cell MICs to in vitro Lgt IC50 values for seven analogs visualized in a scatterplot. For both DDM-Lgt and Amphipol-Lgt, each point in the scatterplot represents a different analog. A simple linear regression was used to determine the R2-correlation for both DDM-Lgt and Amphipol-Lgt.
