Pentamidine, an FDA-approved antiparasitic drug, was recently identified as an outer membrane disrupting synergist that potentiates erythromycin, rifampicin, and novobiocin against Gram-negative bacteria. The same study also described a preliminary structure-activity relationship using commercially available pentamidine analogues. We here report the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a broader panel of bis-amidines inspired by pentamidine. The present study both validates the previously observed synergistic activity reported for pentamidine, while further assessing the capacity for structurally similar bis-amidines to also potentiate Gram-positive specific antibiotics against Gram-negative pathogens. Among the bis-amidines prepared, a number of them were found to exhibit synergistic activity greater than pentamidine. These synergists were shown to effectively potentiate the activity of Gram-positive specific antibiotics against multiple Gram-negative pathogens such as Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli, including polymyxin- and carbapenem-resistant strains.

We report a one-pot ligation/cyclization technology for the rapid and clean conversion of linear peptides into tricyclic peptides that is based on using tetravalent scaffolds containing two benzyl bromide and two alkyne moieties. These react via CLIPS/CuAAC reactions with cysteines and azides in the peptide. Flexibility in the scaffolds is key to the formation of isomerically pure products as the flexible scaffolds T41 and T42 mostly promote the formation of single isomeric tricycles while the rigid scaffolds T43 and T44 do not yield clean products. There seems to be no limitation to the number and types of amino acids present as 18 canonical amino acids were successfully implemented. We also observed that azides at the peptide termini and cysteine residues in the center gave better results than compounds with the functional groups placed the other way round.

Nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) comprise three closely related isoforms that catalyze the oxidation of l-arginine to l-citrulline and the important second messenger nitric oxide (NO). Pharmacological selective inhibition of neuronal NOS (nNOS) has the potential to be therapeutically beneficial in various neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we present a structure-guided, selective nNOS inhibitor design based on the crystal structure of lead compound 1 in nNOS. The best inhibitor, 7, exhibited low nanomolar inhibitory potency and good isoform selectivities (nNOS over eNOS and iNOS are 472-fold and 239-fold, respectively). Consistent with the good selectivity, 7 binds to nNOS and eNOS with different binding modes. The distinctly different binding modes of 7, driven by the critical residue Asp597 in nNOS, offers compelling insight to explain its isozyme selectivity, which should guide future drug design programs.
