Hit-to-lead optimization is a critical phase in drug discovery. Herein, we report on the fragment-based discovery and optimization of 2-aminopyridine derivatives as a novel lead-like structure for the treatment of the dangerous opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We pursue an innovative treatment strategy by interfering with the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) quorum sensing (QS) system leading to an abolishment of bacterial pathogenicity. Our compounds act on the PQS receptor (PqsR), a key transcription factor controlling the expression of various pathogenicity determinants. In this target-driven approach, we made use of biophysical screening via surface plasmon resonance (SPR) followed by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC)-enabled enthalpic efficiency (EE) evaluation. Hit optimization then involved growth vector identification and exploitation. Astonishingly, the latter was successfully achieved by introducing flexible linkers rather than rigid motifs leading to a boost in activity on the target receptor and anti-virulence potency.

Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a poorly water soluble ionizable drug, a cationic species and a dispersion polymer are disclosed, together with a process for forming the compositions. The neutral form of the drug has (i) a solubility of less than 1 mg/mL in aqueous solution at a pH between 6 and 7, (ii) a solubility of less than 20 mg/mL in a volatile organic solvent, and (iii) an acidic pKa value of greater than 5. At least 90 wt% of the drug in the solid dispersion being in a non-crystalline form. The drug, the cationic species, and the dispersion polymer constitute at least 80 wt% of the solid dispersion.
