Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) represents an attractive new antifungal target. Here, we employed a structure-based optimization strategy to discover a novel covalent binding site (C292 site) and the first-in-class covalent allosteric inhibitors

Isoselenazolone derivatives have attracted significant research interest because of their potent therapeutic activities and indispensable applications in organic synthesis. Efficient construction of functionalized isoselenazolone scaffolds is still challenging, and thus new synthetic approaches with improved operational simplicity have been of particular interest. In this manuscript, we introduce a rhodium-catalyzed direct selenium annulation by using stable and tractable elemental selenium. A series of benzamides as well as acrylamides were successfully coupled with selenium under mild reaction conditions, and the obtained isoselenazolones could be pivotal synthetic precursors for several organoselenium compounds. Based on the designed control experiments and X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements, we propose an unprecedented selenation mechanism involving a highly electrophilic Se(IV) species as the reactive selenium donor. The reaction mechanism was further verified by a computational study.

The worldwide prevalence of NDM-1-producing bacteria has drastically undermined the clinical efficacy of the last line antibiotic of carbapenems, prompting a need to devise effective strategy to preserve their clinical value. Our previous studies have shown that ebselen can restore the efficacy of meropenem against a laboratory strain that produces NDM-1. Here we report the construction of a focused compound library of 1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one derivatives which comprise a total of forty-six candidate compounds. The structure-activity relationship of these compounds and their potential to serve as an adjuvant to enhance the antimicrobial efficacy of meropenem against a collection of clinical NDM-1-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates was examined. Drug combination assays indicated that these derivatives exhibited synergistic antimicrobial activity when used along with meropenem, effectively restoring the activity of carbapenems against the resistant strains tested in a Galleria mellonella larvae in vivo infection model. The mode of inhibition of one compound, namely 11_a38, which was depicted when tested on the purified NDM-1 enzyme, indicated that it could covalently bind to the enzyme and displaced one zinc ion from the active site. Overall, this study provides a novel 1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one scaffold that exhibits strong synergistic antimicrobial activity with carbapenems, and low cytotoxicity. The prospect of application of such compounds as carbapenem adjuvants warrants further evaluation.
