摘要: Brucellosis remains one of the major zoonotic diseases worldwide. As a causative
agent of brucellosis, it has many ways to evade recognition by the immune system,
allowing it to replicate and multiply in the host, causing significant harm to both humans
and animals. The pathogenic mechanism of Brucella has not been elucidated, making the
identification of drug targets from the pathogenic mechanism a challenge. Metalloenzymatic
targets and some protein targets unique to Brucella are exploitable in the development
of inhibitors against this disease. The development of specific small molecule inhibitors
is urgently needed for brucellosis treatment due to the antibiotic resistance of
Brucella. This review summarizes the research on small molecule inhibitors of Brucella,
which could be instructive for subsequent studies.
