- Carbapenems are vital antibiotics, but their efficacy is increasingly compromised by metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs). Here we report the discovery and optimization of potent broad-spectrum MBL inhibitors. A high-throughput screen for NDM-1 inhibitors identified indole-2-carboxylates (InCs) as potential β-lactamase stable β-lactam mimics. Subsequent structure-activity relationship studies revealed InCs as a new class of potent MBL inhibitor, active against all MBL classes of major clinical relevance. Crystallographic studies revealed a binding mode of the InCs to MBLs that, in some regards, mimics that predicted for intact carbapenems, including with respect to maintenance of the Zn(II)-bound hydroxyl, and in other regards mimics binding observed in MBL-carbapenem product complexes. InCs restore carbapenem activity against multiple drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria and have a low frequency of resistance. InCs also have a good in vivo safety profile, and when combined with meropenem show a strong in vivo efficacy in peritonitis and thigh mouse infection models.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We introduce a protein-ligand binding database (PLBD) that presents thermodynamic and kinetic data of reversible protein interactions with small molecule compounds. The manually curated binding data are linked to protein-ligand crystal structures, enabling structure-thermodynamics correlations to be determined. The database contains over 5500 binding datasets of 556 sulfonamide compound interactions with the 12 catalytically active human carbonic anhydrase isozymes defined by fluorescent thermal shift assay, isothermal titration calorimetry, inhibition of enzymatic activity and surface plasmon resonance. In the PLBD, the intrinsic thermodynamic parameters of interactions are provided, which account for the binding-linked protonation reactions. In addition to the protein-ligand binding affinities, the database provides calorimetrically measured binding enthalpies, providing additional mechanistic understanding. The PLBD can be applied to investigations of protein-ligand recognition and could be integrated into small molecule drug design.

- A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of NOSO-95179, a nonapeptide from the Odilorhabdin class of antibacterials, was performed by systematic variations of amino acids in positions 2 and 5 of the peptide. A series of non-proteinogenic amino acids was synthesized in high enantiomeric purity from Williams' chiral diphenyloxazinone by highly diastereoselective alkylation or by aldol-type reaction. NOSO-95179 analogues for SAR studies were prepared using solid-phase peptide synthesis. Inhibition of bacterial translation by each of the synthesized Odilorhabdin analogues was measured using an in vitro test. For the most efficient analogues, antibacterial efficacy was measured against two wild-type Enterobacteriaceae (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae) and against an efflux defective E. coli strain (Delta tolC) to evaluate the impact of efflux on the antibacterial activity.
