- Discovery of a Tricyclic β-Lactam as a Potent Antimicrobial Agent against Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales, Including Strains with Reduced Membrane Permeability and Four-Amino Acid Insertion into Penicillin-Binding Protein 3: Structure-Activity-Relationships and In Vitro and In Vivo Activities
-
The current worldwide emergence of carbapenem-resistant enterobacterales (CREs) constitutes an important growing clinical and public health threat. Acquired carbapenemases are the most important determinants of resistance to carbapenems. In the development of the previously reported tricyclic β-lactam skeleton which exhibits potent antibacterial activities against several problematic β-lactamase-producing CREs without a β-lactamase inhibitor, we found that these activities were reduced against clinical isolates with resistance mechanisms other than β-lactamase production. These mechanisms were the reduction of outer membrane permeability with the production of β-lactamases and the insertion of four amino acids into penicillin-binding protein 3. Here, we report the discovery of a potent compound that overcomes these resistance mechanisms by the conversion of the alkoxyimino moiety of the aminothiazole side chain in which a hydrophilic functional group is introduced and the carboxylic acid of the alkoxyimino moiety is converted to reduce the negative charge of the whole molecule from 2 to 1. This potent tricyclic β-lactam is a promising drug candidate for infectious diseases caused by CREs due to its potent therapeutic efficacy in the neutropenic mouse lung infection model and low frequency of producing spontaneously resistant mutants.

- Mediating K+/H+ Transport on Organelle Membranes to Selectively Eradicate Cancer Stem Cells with a Small Molecule
-
Molecules that are capable of disrupting cellular ion homeostasis offer unique opportunities to treat cancer. However, previously reported synthetic ion transporters showed limited value, as promiscuous ionic disruption caused toxicity to both healthy cells and cancer cells indiscriminately. Here we report a simple yet efficient synthetic K+ transporter that takes advantage of the endogenous subcellular pH gradient and membrane potential to site-selectively mediate K+/H+ transport on the mitochondrial and lysosomal membranes in living cells. Consequent mitochondrial and lysosomal damages enhanced cytotoxicity to chemo-resistant ovarian cancer stem cells (CSCs) via apoptosis induction and autophagy suppression with remarkable selectivity (up to 47-fold). The eradication of CSCs blunted tumor formation in mice. We believe this strategy can be exploited in the structural design and applications of next-generation synthetic cation transporters for the treatment of cancer and other diseases related to dysfunctional K+ channels.

- Chiral α-aminoxy acid/achiral cyclopropane α-aminoxy acid unit as a building block for constructing the α N-O helix
-
(Figure Presented) The monomer 1 derived from achiral 1-(aminoxy) cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (OAcc) and oligopeptides 2-9 consisting of a chiral α-aminoxy acid and an achiral α-aminoxy acid such as OAcc were synthesized and their structures characterized. The eight-membered-ring intramolecular hydrogen bond, namely the α N-O turn, was formed between adjacent residues independent of their chirality. However, the helix formation was sequence-dependent. Dipeptide 2 bearing chiral α-aminoxy acid (d-OAA) at the N-terminus and achiral OAcc at the C-terminus preferentially adopted a right-handed 1.88 helical structure, but dipeptide 3 (OAcc-d-OAA) did not. Theoretical calculation results, in good agreement with experimental ones, revealed that the biased handedness of α N-O turn found in OAcc residue depends on its preceding chiral residue. It was then found that the helical conformation was destroyed in the case of oligopeptides 6 and 7 [OAA-(OAcc) n, n = 2, 3]. The crystal structure of tripeptide 8 ( iPrCO-d-OVal-OAcc-d-OVal-NHiBu) further disclosed the helical structure formed by three consecutive homochiral α N-O turns. This study has uncovered achiral aminoxy acid residues such as the OAcc unit as a useful building block to be incorporated into chiral aminoxy peptides to mimic chiral helix structure.

- A novel series of parenteral cephalosporins exhibiting potent activities against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram-negative pathogens: Synthesis and structure-activity relationships
-
A series of 7β-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(Z)-(carboxymethoxyimino)acetamido]cephalosporins bearing a 1-(substituted)-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridinium group at C-3′ position was synthesized and their in vitro antibacterial activities against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram-negative pathogens were evaluated. Among the cephalosporins prepared, 7β-[2-(2-amino-5-chlorothiazol-4yl)-2(Z)-((S)-1-carboxyethoxyimino)acetamido]cephalosporins (42d) showed potent antibacterial activities against P. aeruginosa and other Gram-negative pathogens including the strains which produce class C β-lactamase and extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL). These results imply that both the Cl atom on the C-7 aminothiazole moiety and the α-substituent at the iminoether moiety are essential for the stability against β-lactamase and the potent activity against Gram-negative bacteria including P. aeruginosa.

- N- and C-terminal modifications of negamycin
-
Negamycin 1 is a bactericidal antibiotic with activity against Gram-negative bacteria, and served as a template in an antibiotic discovery program. An orthogonally protected β-amino acid derivative 3a was synthesized and used in parallel synthesis of negamycin derivatives on solid support. This advanced intermediate was also used for N- and C-terminal modifications using solution-phase methodologies. The N-terminal modifications have resulted in the identification of active analogues, whereas the C-terminal modifications resulted in complete loss of antibacterial activity. The N-methyl negamycin analogue, 19a, inhibits protein synthesis (IC50=2.3 μM), has antibacterial activity (Escherichia coli, MIC=16 μg/mL), and is efficacious in an E. coli murine septicemia model (ED50=16.3 mg/kg).
