Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is the main cause of peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. Hp eradication rates have fallen due to increasing bacterial resistance to currently used broad-spectrum antimicrobials. We have designed, synthesized, and tested redox variants of nitroethylene- and 7-nitrobenzoxadiazole-based inhibitors of the essential Hp protein flavodoxin. Derivatives of the 7-nitrobenzoxadiazole lead, carrying reduced forms of the nitro group and/or oxidized forms of a sulfur atom, display high therapeutic indexes against several reference Hp strains. These inhibitors are effective against metronidazole-, clarithromycin-, and rifampicin-resistant Hp clinical isolates. Their toxicity for mice after oral administration is low, and, when administered individually at single daily doses for 8 days in a mice model of Hp infection, they decrease significantly Hp gastric colonization rates and are able to eradicate the infection in up to 60% of the mice. These flavodoxin inhibitors constitute a novel family of Hp-specific antimicrobials that may help fight the constant increase of Hp antimicrobial-resistant strains.

The influenza RNA polymerase complex, which consists of the three subunits PA, PB1, and PB2, is a promising target for the development of new antiviral drugs. A large library of benzofurazan compounds was synthesized and assayed against influenza virus A/WSN/33 (H1N1). Most of the new derivatives were found to act by inhibiting the viral RNA polymerase complex through disruption of the complex formed between subunits PA and PB1. Docking studies were also performed to elucidate the binding mode of benzofurazans within the PB1 binding site in PA and to identify amino acids involved in their mechanism of action. The predicted binding pose is fully consistent with the biological data and lays the foundation for the rational development of more effective PA-PB1 inhibitors. In the fight against influenza virus A/WSN/33 (H1N1), the PA-PB1 protein-protein interaction is emerging as a new drug target. To identify small molecules able to inhibit the viral RNA polymerase complex, the benzofurazan scaffold was explored by synthesizing a large library of derivatives. Some compounds showed high anti-H1N1 activity and emerged as effective inhibitors of the PA-PB1 interaction, with IC50 values in the micromolar range. Copyright

Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection affects one-half of the human population and produces a variety of diseases from peptic ulcer to cancer. Current eradication therapies achieve modest success rates (around 70%), resistance to the antibiotics of choice is on the rise, and vaccination has not proved to be successful yet. Using an essential Hp protein, flavodoxin, as target, we identified three low-molecular-weight flavodoxin inhibitors with bactericidal anti-Hp properties. To improve their therapeutic indexes, we have now identified and tested 123 related compounds. We have first tested similar compounds available. Then we have designed, synthesized, and tested novel variants for affinity to flavodoxin, MIC for Hp, cytotoxicity, and bactericidal effect. Some are novel bactericidal inhibitors with therapeutic indexes of 9, 38 and 12, significantly higher than those of their corresponding leads. Developing novel Hp-specific antibiotics will help fighting Hp resistance and may have the advantage of not generally perturbing the bacterial flora.
