2-Thenoic Acid is an experimental drug that binds to and inhibits the activity of inhibitor molecules. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of a number of pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium complex. 2-Thenoic acid also inhibits the production of picolinic acid, which is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). 2-Thenoic acid is not active against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates, but has been shown to be effective against some strains of Clostridium perfringens. The structure of 2-thenoic acid was determined using X-ray crystallography and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. This molecule binds to palladium in an octahedral coordination geometry with two nitrogen atoms from the carboxylic acid moiety forming direct bonds with palladium.
