Discovery of novel MDR-Mycobacterium tuberculosis inhibitor by new FRIGATE computational screen.

ABSTRACT: With 1.6 million casualties annually and 2 billion people being infected, tuberculosis is still one of the most pressing healthcare challenges. Here we report on the new computational docking algorithm FRIGATE which unites continuous local optimization techniques (conjugate gradient method) with an inherently discrete computational approach in forcefield computation, resulting in equal or better scoring accuracies than several benchmark docking programs. By utilizing FRIGATE for a virtual screen of the ZINC library against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) enzyme antigen 85C, we identified novel small molecule inhibitors of multiple drug-resistant Mtb, which bind in vitro to the catalytic site of antigen 85C.

Discovery of a Novel Inhibitor Structure of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> Isocitrate Lyase.

Project description:Tuberculosis remains a global threat to public health, and dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis leads to long-term medication that is harmful to the human body. M. tuberculosis isocitrate lyase (MtICL), which is absent in host cells, is a key rate-limiting enzyme of the glyoxylic acid cycle and is essential for the survival of dormant M. tuberculosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate natural compounds as potential MtICL inhibitors through docking and experimental verification. Screening of the TCMSP database library was done using Discovery Studio 2019 for molecular docking and interaction analysis, with the putative inhibitors of MtICL, 3-BP, and IA as reference ligands. Daphnetin (MOL005118), with a docking score of 94.8 and -CDOCKER interaction energy of 56 kcal/mol, was selected and verified on MtICL in vitro and M. smegmatis; daphnetin gave an IC50 of 4.34 μg/mL for the MtICL enzyme and an MIC value of 128 μg/mL against M. smegmatis, showing enhanced potential in comparison with 3-BP and IA. The interactions and essential amino acid residues of the protein were analyzed. In summary, natural daphnetin may be a promising new skeleton for the design of inhibitors of MtICL to combat dormant M. tuberculosis.

Trypanosoma cruzi CYP51 inhibitor derived from a Mycobacterium tuberculosis screen hit.

Project description:BackgroundThe two front-line drugs for chronic Trypanosoma cruzi infections are limited by adverse side-effects and declining efficacy. One potential new target for Chagas' disease chemotherapy is sterol 14alpha-demethylase (CYP51), a cytochrome P450 enzyme involved in biosynthesis of membrane sterols.Methodology/principal findingIn a screening effort targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis CYP51 (CYP51(Mt)), we previously identified the N-[4-pyridyl]-formamide moiety as a building block capable of delivering a variety of chemotypes into the CYP51 active site. In that work, the binding modes of several second generation compounds carrying this scaffold were determined by high-resolution co-crystal structures with CYP51(Mt). Subsequent assays against the CYP51 orthologue in T. cruzi, CYP51(Tc), demonstrated that two of the compounds tested in the earlier effort bound tightly to this enzyme. Both were tested in vitro for inhibitory effects against T. cruzi and the related protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African sleeping sickness. One of the compounds had potent, selective anti-T. cruzi activity in infected mouse macrophages. Cure of treated host cells was confirmed by prolonged incubation in the absence of the inhibiting compound. Discrimination between T. cruzi and T. brucei CYP51 by the inhibitor was largely based on the variability (phenylalanine versus isoleucine) of a single residue at a critical position in the active site.Conclusions/significanceCYP51(Mt)-based crystal structure analysis revealed that the functional groups of the two tightly bound compounds are likely to occupy different spaces in the CYP51 active site, suggesting the possibility of combining the beneficial features of both inhibitors in a third generation of compounds to achieve more potent and selective inhibition of CYP51(Tc).

Discovery of a cofactor-independent inhibitor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis InhA.

Project description:New antitubercular agents are needed to combat the spread of multidrug- and extensively drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The frontline antitubercular drug isoniazid (INH) targets the mycobacterial enoyl-ACP reductase, InhA. Resistance to INH is predominantly through mutations affecting the prodrug-activating enzyme KatG. Here, we report the identification of the diazaborines as a new class of direct InhA inhibitors. The lead compound, AN12855, exhibited in vitro bactericidal activity against replicating bacteria and was active against several drug-resistant clinical isolates. Biophysical and structural investigations revealed that AN12855 binds to and inhibits the substrate-binding site of InhA in a cofactor-independent manner. AN12855 showed good drug exposure after i.v. and oral delivery, with 53% oral bioavailability. Delivered orally, AN12855 exhibited dose-dependent efficacy in both an acute and chronic murine model of tuberculosis infection that was comparable with INH. Combined, AN12855 is a promising candidate for the development of new antitubercular agents.

Early detection of MDR Mycobacterium tuberculosis mutations in Pakistan.

Project description:The result of improper treatment has led to the rise of Multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. This concern still exists in Pakistan. In order to save energy, time and resources an early detection of resistant cases is imperative. Thus, a treated group of 100 isolates and a control group of 56 untreated isolates were studied. PCR and gene sequencing showed mutations at codon 531 and 513 in the rpoB gene. 12% of cases showed a double mutation in the rpoB gene. katG gene showed mutations at codon 315 and 299. 28.6% of the control group cases were positive for MDR whereas 100% of the treated group were positive for MDR. This study explores the significantly increasing ratio of MDR-TB among Pakistani population. This study provides prevalent MDR mutations among Pakistanis and suggests developing such molecular assays that are time and cost effective. Importance: Pakistan is a developing country and has fourth highest incidence rate of MDR-TB. The treatment of MDR-TB is the use of second line drugs that has severe side effects as well as it requires long time span. One of the strategies to control the spread of MDR-TB is to decipher the aberrations at molecular level in order to formulate potent drugs that can treat the patients within short span of time. Determining the mutation profile of MDR in Pakistani populations will open new horizons for the improvement of drug treatment regimens to make it more effective or for the development of novel potent drugs and vaccines to better treat the drug-resistant TB. Moreover, this study will be help in disease control program.

Combining computational methods for hit to lead optimization in Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug discovery.

Project description:Tuberculosis treatments need to be shorter and overcome drug resistance. Our previous large scale phenotypic high-throughput screening against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has identified 737 active compounds and thousands that are inactive. We have used this data for building computational models as an approach to minimize the number of compounds tested.A cheminformatics clustering approach followed by Bayesian machine learning models (based on publicly available Mtb screening data) was used to illustrate that application of these models for screening set selections can enrich the hit rate.In order to explore chemical diversity around active cluster scaffolds of the dose-response hits obtained from our previous Mtb screens a set of 1924 commercially available molecules have been selected and evaluated for antitubercular activity and cytotoxicity using Vero, THP-1 and HepG2 cell lines with 4.3%, 4.2% and 2.7% hit rates, respectively. We demonstrate that models incorporating antitubercular and cytotoxicity data in Vero cells can significantly enrich the selection of non-toxic actives compared to random selection. Across all cell lines, the Molecular Libraries Small Molecule Repository (MLSMR) and cytotoxicity model identified ~10% of the hits in the top 1% screened (>10 fold enrichment). We also showed that seven out of nine Mtb active compounds from different academic published studies and eight out of eleven Mtb active compounds from a pharmaceutical screen (GSK) would have been identified by these Bayesian models.Combining clustering and Bayesian models represents a useful strategy for compound prioritization and hit-to lead optimization of antitubercular agents.

A virtual screen discovers novel, fragment-sized inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis InhA.

Project description:Isoniazid (INH) is usually administered to treat latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infections and is used in combination therapy to treat active tuberculosis (TB). Unfortunately, resistance to this drug is hampering its clinical effectiveness. INH is a prodrug that must be activated by Mtb catalase-peroxidase (KatG) before it can inhibit InhA (Mtb enoyl-acyl-carrier-protein reductase). Isoniazid-resistant cases of TB found in clinical settings usually involve mutations in or deletion of katG, which abrogate INH activation. Compounds that inhibit InhA without requiring prior activation by KatG would not be affected by this resistance mechanism and hence would display continued potency against these drug-resistant isolates of Mtb. Virtual screening experiments versus InhA in the GO Fight Against Malaria (GO FAM) project were designed to discover new scaffolds that display base-stacking interactions with the NAD cofactor. GO FAM experiments included targets from other pathogens, including Mtb, when they had structural similarity to a malaria target. Eight of the 16 soluble compounds identified by docking against InhA plus visual inspection were modest inhibitors and did not require prior activation by KatG. The best two inhibitors discovered are both fragment-sized compounds and displayed Ki values of 54 and 59 ?M, respectively. Importantly, the novel inhibitors discovered have low structural similarity to known InhA inhibitors and thus help expand the number of chemotypes on which future medicinal chemistry efforts can be focused. These new fragment hits could eventually help advance the fight against INH-resistant Mtb strains, which pose a significant global health threat.

Computational finding of potential inhibitor for Cytochrome P450 Mono-oxygenases Enzyme of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Project description:Cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenases (2UUQ) enzyme from Mycobacterium tuberculosis catalyzes oxidation of organic compounds such as lipids and steroidal hormones therefore remain as potential drug target. Currently available first line anti-tuberculosis drugs have been caused several side effects in the body as well as resistance development by mycobacterium against these drugs, necessitates the considerable need for finding new drugs. Therefore, we propose a structure based computational method to find a new potential inhibitor for cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenases enzyme. Compounds from several ligand databases were docked against the functional sites of 2UUQ (A) through the standard GEMDOCK v2.0 and AUTODOCK4.0 molecular docking tools. Commercially available chemical compound ZINC00004165 (5-[3-(2-nitroimidazol-1-yl) propyl] phenanthridine) has produced top rank with lowest interaction energy of -113.2 (via GEMDOCK) and lowest docking energy of -9.80 kcal/mol (via AUTODOCK) as compared to first line anti TB compounds. Z score and normal distribution analysis verified that the ZINC00004165 compound has more affinity towards 2UUQ in comparison to large number of random population of compounds. ZINC00004165 is also in agreement with the drug likeness properties of Lipinski rule of five without any violation. Therefore, our finding concludes that the commercial compound ZINC00004165 can act as a potential inhibitor against cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenases enzyme of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
