Drug efflux mechanisms interact synergistically with the outer membrane permeability barrier of Gram-negative bacteria, leading to intrinsic resistance that presents a major challenge for antibiotic drug development. Efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) which block the efflux of antibiotics synergize antibiotics, but the clinical development of EPI/antibiotic combination therapy to treat multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative infections has been challenging. This is in part caused by the inefficiency of current EPIs to penetrate the outer membrane and resist efflux. We demonstrate that conjugation of a tobramycin (TOB) vector to EPIs like NMP, paroxetine, or DBP enhances synergy and efficacy of EPIs in combination with tetracycline antibiotics against MDR Gram-negative bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Besides potentiating tetracycline antibiotics, TOB-EPI conjugates can also suppress resistance development to the tetracycline antibiotic minocycline, thereby providing a strategy to develop more effective adjuvants to rescue tetracycline antibiotics from resistance in MDR Gram-negative bacteria.

, (2008/06/13)
A chimeric amino acid analogue is provided suitable for incorporating into peptides which compound is represented by Formula 1: STR1 where P1 is preferably an amine protecting agent, and P2 and P3 are preferably amine or guanidine protecting agents. X can be OH, halide, or preferably an activating group suitable for conjugating the compound of Formula 1 to a peptide by conventional means, and m and n are 0-1 and 0-2 respectively. Peptides containing the chimeric amino acid analog are provided and include a platelet-aggregation inhibitor represented by where Aaa1 is Gly or H, Cpdl is the compound of Formula 1 which has been deprotected and Aaa2 is a hydrophobic amino acid preferably Val.
