Expression of β-lactamase is the single most prevalent determinant of antibiotic resistance, rendering bacteria resistant to β-lactam antibiotics. In this article, we describe the development of an antibiotic prodrug that combines ciprofloxacin with a β-lactamase-cleavable motif. The prodrug is only bactericidal after activation by β-lactamase. Bactericidal activity comparable to ciprofloxacin is demonstrated against clinically relevant E. coli isolates expressing diverse β-lactamases; bactericidal activity was not observed in strains without β-lactamase. These findings demonstrate that it is possible to exploit antibiotic resistance to selectively target β-lactamase-producing bacteria using our prodrug approach, without adversely affecting bacteria that do not produce β-lactamase. This paves the way for selective targeting of drug-resistant pathogens without disrupting or selecting for resistance within the microbiota, reducing the rate of secondary infections and subsequent antibiotic use.

N-Acylethanolamine-hydrolyzing acid amidase (NAAA) is a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of endogenous fatty acid ethanolamides (FAEs), such as N-palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). PEA exhibits anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities by engaging peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPAR-α). Preventing PEA degradation by inhibition of NAAA has been proposed as a novel strategy for the treatment of inflammation and pain. In the present study, we reported the discovery of the oxazolidone derivative as a novel scaffold for NAAA inhibitors, and studied the structure-activity relationship (SAR) by modification of the side chain and terminal lipophilic substituents. The results showed that the link chain length of C5, straight and saturated linkages were the preferred shape patterns for NAAA inhibition. Several nanomolar NAAA inhibitors were described, including 2f, 3h, 3i and 3j with IC50 values of 270 nM, 150 nM, 100 nM and 190 nM, respectively. Enzymatic degradation studies suggested that 2f inhibited NAAA in a selective, noncompetitive and reversible pattern. Moreover, 2f showed high anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities after systemic and oral administration.

A series of compounds with a diphenyl ether nucleus were synthesized by incorporating various amines into the diphenyl ether scaffold with an amide bond. Their antitubercular activities were evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv by a microdilution method, with MIC values ranging from 4 to 64 μg/mL. Through structure-activity relationship studies, the two chlorine atoms at 3 and 4 positions in the phenyl ring of R2 group were found to play a significant role in the antitubercular activity. The most potent compound 6c showed an MIC value of 4 μg/mL and a good safety profile in HepG2 cell line by the MTT assay. Compound 6c was further found to be effective in a murine model of BCG infection, providing a good lead for subsequent optimization.

Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African trypanosomiasis, contains a soluble, vacuolar pyrophosphatase, TbVSP1, not present in humans, which is essential for the growth of bloodstream forms in their mammalian host. Here, we report the inhibition of a recombinant TbVSP1 expressed in Escherichia coli by a panel of 81 bisphosphonates. The IC50 values were found to vary from ～2 to 850 μM. We then used 3D QSAR (comparative molecular field and comparative molecular similarity index; CoMFA and CoMSIA) methods to analyze the enzyme inhibition results. The R2 values for the experimental versus the QSAR-predicted activities were 0.78 or 0.61 for CoMFA and 0.79 or 0.68 for CoMSIA, for two different alignments. The root-mean-square (rms) pIC50 error for the best CoMFA model was 0.41 for five test sets of five activity predictions, which translates to a factor of ～2.6 error in IC50 prediction. For CoMSIA, the rms pIC50 error and error factors were 0.35 and 2.2, respectively. In general, the most active compounds contained both a single aromatic ring and a hydrogen bond donor feature. Thirteen of the more potent compounds were then tested in vivo in a mouse model of T. brucei infection. The most active compound in vivo provided a 40% protection from death with no apparent side effects, suggesting that further development of such compounds may be of interest.

A series of 5-, 6-, 7- and 8-aza analogues of 3-aryl-4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one was synthesized and assayed as NMDA/glycine receptor antagonists. The in vitro potency of these antagonists was determined by displacement of the glycine site radioligand [3H]5,7-dicholorokynurenic acid ([3H]DCKA) in rat brain cortical membranes. Selected compounds were also tested for functional antagonism using electrophysiological assays in Xenopus oocytes expressing cloned NMDA receptor (NR) 1A/2C subunits. Among the 5-, 6-, 7-, and 8-aza-3-aryl-4-hydroxyquinoline-2(1H)-ones investigated, 5-aza-7-chloro-4-hydroxy-3-(3-phenoxyphenyl)quinolin-2-(1H)-one (13i) is the most potent antagonist, having an IC50 value of 110 nM in [3H]DCKA binding and a Kb of 11 nM in the electrophysiology assay. Compound 13i is also an active anticonvulsant when administered systemically in the mouse maximum electroshock-induced seizure test (ED50 = 2.3 mg/kg, IP).

The glycine-binding site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, given its potential as pharmacological target, has been thoroughly studied by structure-activity relationships, which has made possible its description in terms of spatial limits and interactions of various types. A structural model, based on mutational analysis and sequence alignments, has been proposed. Yet, the amino acid residues responsible for the interactions with the ligand have not been unambiguously characterized. To evidence nucleophilic pocket-lining residues, we have designed and synthesized reactive glycine-site ligands derived from 3-substituted 4-hydroxy-quinolin- 2(1H)-ones by introducing various electrophilic groups at different positions of the molecule. These ligands were found to have high affinity at the glycine site and to be functional antagonists by inhibiting glycine/glutamate-induced currents in transfected oocytes. The correlation between their potency and their substitution pattern was strictly consistent with previously established structure-activity relationships. Most ligands displayed intrinsic reactivity toward cysteine, but none inactivated wild- type receptors. This is consistent with the model since it indicates the absence of exposed cysteine in the glycine-binding site. A strategy of cysteine incorporation by point mutations at selected polypeptide positions will create unambiguously localized targets for our reactive probes.

Treatment of 6,7-dialkoxy-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-diones 3 with fuming nitric acid in acetic acid at 25°C resulted in an acetoxylation reaction, giving 5-acetoxy-6,7-dialkoxy-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-diones 4 in moderate yields. A mechanism involving ipso attack of nitronium ion as the first step is proposed.
