Pyridomycin
Pyridomycin (Erizomycin) is a selective and low cytotoxic inhibitor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that effectively targets InhA. Pyrdomycin is also an antibiotic that can be obtained from metabolites of Dactylosporangium fulvum. Pyrdomycin can be used in the study of bacterial infections such as tuberculosis.

Cell Viability Determination by MTT Colorimetric Assay
The following protocol uses the MTT colorimetric assay as a classic literature-established method for assessing cell viability/metabolic activity in cultured mammalian cells. MTT[3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] is reduced by metabolically active cells to a colored formazan product; the amount of formazan is quantified spectrophotometrically and provides an indirect measure of metabolically active viable cells. Importantly, MTT reduction reflects cellular oxidoreductase/metabolic activity rather than an absolute direct count of living cells, so changes in cellular metabolism can alter the signal independently of cell number.
