Dr. Jarasvaraparn and (future) Dr. Hodges verified the anti-diabetic effects of known MPC inhibitors and identified new ones including quinolone antibiotics. This allowed us to develop a pharmacophore model for MPC inhibitors and led to the identification of even more novel inhibitors. https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/10/2/365
