The invention relates to a reagent set for screening a 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate cytidyltransferase (IspD) inhibitor. The reagent set comprises methylerythritol phosphate (MEP), cytidine triphosphate (CTP), IspD, enzyme reaction buffer solution, an ion reagent and a reagent for determining pyrophosphoric acid (PPi). The invention also relates to a method for screening the IspD inhibitor. By the method, domiphen bromide with anti-tuberculosis activity is screened from more than 3,000 compounds. The invention also relates to application of the domiphen bromide to the in-vivo/in-vitro inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the preparation of anti-tuberculosis medicines. |
