Synthesis of 1,3,4-trisubstituted pyrrolidines as meropenem adjuvants targeting New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase

The effective strategies to neutralize the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1) activity offer unique opportunities to combination therapy because NDM-1 inactivates all classes of carbapenem antibiotics, which are widely regarded as the last resort of drugs for treating serious bacterial infections. Here we describe the efficient construction of a series of trans-1,3,4-trisubstituted pyrrolidines via boric acid-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of N-benzylazomethine ylide with methyl ferulate for the biological evaluation of their cytotoxicity and synergistic activity in combination with meropenem towards NDM-1 positive carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). The cell-based screens generated one promising hit, namely compound 10e, which exhibited low cytotoxicity (IC50 > 128 μM), moderate NDM-1 enzyme inhibition (IC50 = 51 μM), and potent synergistic activity against a panel of clinically isolated NDM-1 positive CRE with fractional inhibitory concentration indexes ranging from 0.01 to 0.25. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that the zinc-chelating moiety of 2-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-amino)acetyl group of compound 10e plays a pivotal role for potent activity. Regarding the inhibition mechanism, a series of biochemical assays revealed that compound 10e may inactivate NDM-1 activity by displacing both zinc ions from the active site of the enzyme. Altogether, our studies indicate that compound 10e represents an important pyrrolidine-type scaffold targeting NDM-1, providing a promising starting point to be further developed as carbapenem antibiotic adjuvants.

Phosphonic acid analogs of fluorophenylalanines as inhibitors of human and porcine aminopeptidases N: Validation of the importance of the substitution of the aromatic ring

A library of phosphonic acid analogs of phenylalanine substituted with fluorine, chlorine and trifluoromethyl moieties on the aromatic ring was synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activity against human (hAPN) and porcine (pAPN) aminopeptidases. Fluorogenic screening indicated that these analogs are micromolar or submicromolar inhibitors, both enzymes being more active against hAPN. In order to better understand the mode of the action of the most active compounds, molecular modeling was used. It confirmed that aminophosphonic portion of the enzyme is bound nearly identically in the case of all the studied compounds, whereas the difference in activity results from the placement of aromatic side chain of an inhibitor. Interestingly, both enantiomers of the individual compounds are usually bound quite similarly.

Structural insight into the optimization of ethyl 5-hydroxybenzo[g]indol-3-carboxylates and their bioisosteric analogues as 5-LO/m-PGES-1 dual inhibitors able to suppress inflammation

The release of pro-inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandines (PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs), arising from the arachidonic acid (AA) cascade, play a crucial role in initiating, maintaining, and regulating inflammatory processes. New dual inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1), that block, at the same time, the formation of PGE2 and LTs, are currently emerged as a highly interesting drug candidates for better pharmacotherapie of inflammation-related disorders. Following our previous studies, we here performed a detailed structure-based design of benzo[g]indol-3-carboxylate derivatives, disclosing several new key factors that affect both enzyme activity. Ethyl 2-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-5-hydroxy-1H-benzo[g]indole-3-carboxylate (4b, RAF-01) and ethyl 2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-5-hydroxy-1H-benzo[g]indole-3-carboxylate (7h, RAF-02) emerged as the most active compounds of the series. Additionally, together with selected structure based analogues, both derivatives displayed significant in vivo anti-inflammatory properties. In conclusion, modeling and experimental studies lead to the discovery of new candidate compounds prone to further developments as multi-target inhibitors of the inflammatory pathway.

Stereoselective synthesis of Z-vinylsilanes via palladium-catalyzed direct intermolecular silylation of C(sp2)-H bonds

An efficient and convenient palladium-catalyzed direct intermolecular silylation of C(sp2)-H bonds by using disilanes as the silicon source with the assistance of a readily removable bidentate directing group is reported. This strategy provided a regio- and stereoselective protocol for exclusive synthesis of Z-vinylsilanes with reasonable to excellent yields and good functional group compatibility. Silylation of the isolated palladacycle intermediate revealed the Z-stereoselective pathway. Moreover, the practicality and effectiveness of this method were illustrated by a gram-scale experiment and further functionalization of the silylation product.

The human Aurora kinase inhibitor danusertib is a lead compound for anti-trypanosomal drug discovery via target repurposing

New drugs for neglected tropical diseases such as human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) are needed, yet drug discovery efforts are not often focused on this area due to cost. Target repurposing, achieved by the matching of essential parasite enzymes to those human enzymes that have been successfully inhibited by small molecule drugs, provides an attractive means by which new drug optimization programs can be pragmatically initiated. In this report we describe our results in repurposing an established class of human Aurora kinase inhibitors, typified by danusertib (1), which we have observed to be an inhibitor of trypanosomal Aurora kinase 1 (TbAUK1) and effective in parasite killing in vitro. Informed by homology modeling and docking, a series of analogs of 1 were prepared that explored the scope of the chemotype and provided a nearly 25-fold improvement in cellular selectivity for parasite cells over human cells.

Methyl-thiazoles: A novel mode of inhibition with the potential to develop novel inhibitors targeting InhA in mycobacterium tuberculosis

InhA is a well validated Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) target as evidenced by the clinical success of isoniazid. Translating enzyme inhibition to bacterial cidality by targeting the fatty acid substrate site of InhA remains a daunting challenge. The recent disclosure of a methyl-thiazole series demonstrates that bacterial cidality can be achieved with potent enzyme inhibition and appropriate physicochemical properties. In this study, we report the molecular mode of action of a lead methyl-thiazole, along with analogues with improved CYP inhibition profile. We have identified a novel mechanism of InhA inhibition characterized by a hitherto unreported "Y158-out" inhibitor-bound conformation of the protein that accommodates a neutrally charged "warhead". An additional novel hydrophilic interaction with protein residue M98 allows the incorporation of favorable physicochemical properties for cellular activity. Notably, the methyl-thiazole prefers the NADH-bound form of the enzyme with a Kd of ～13.7 nM, as against the NAD+-bound form of the enzyme.
