Structure-activity relationships of a novel pyranopyridine series of Gram-negative bacterial efflux pump inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Recently we described a novel pyranopyridine inhibitor (MBX2319) of RND-type efflux pumps of the Enterobacteriaceae. MBX2319 (3,3-dimethyl-5-cyano-8-morpholino-6-(phenethylthio)-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrano[3,4-c]pyridine) is structurally distinct from other known Gram-negative efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs), such as 1-(1-naphthylmethyl)-piperazine (NMP), phenylalanylarginine-?-naphthylamide (PA?N), D13-9001, and the pyridopyrimidine derivatives. Here, we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of 60 new analogs of MBX2319 that were designed to probe the structure activity relationships (SARs) of the pyranopyridine scaffold. The results of these studies produced a molecular activity map of the scaffold, which identifies regions that are critical to efflux inhibitory activities and those that can be modified to improve potency, metabolic stability and solubility. Several compounds, such as 22d-f, 22i and 22k, are significantly more effective than MBX2319 at potentiating the antibacterial activity of levofloxacin and piperacillin against Escherichia coli.

Project description:Pathogen inactivation is a strategy to improve the safety of transfusion products. The only pathogen reduction technology for blood products currently approved in the US utilizes a psoralen compound, called amotosalen, in combination with UVA light to inactivate bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. Psoralens have structural similarity to bacterial multidrug efflux pump substrates. As these efflux pumps are often overexpressed in multidrug-resistant pathogens, we tested whether contemporary drug-resistant pathogens might show resistance to amotosalen and other psoralens based on multidrug efflux mechanisms through genetic, biophysical, and molecular modeling analysis. The main efflux systems in Enterobacterales, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are tripartite resistance-nodulation-cell division (RND) systems, which span the inner and outer membranes of Gram-negative pathogens, and expel antibiotics from the bacterial cytoplasm into the extracellular space. We provide evidence that amotosalen is an efflux substrate for the E. coli AcrAB, Acinetobacter baumannii AdeABC, and P. aeruginosa MexXY RND efflux pumps. Furthermore, we show that the MICs for contemporary Gram-negative bacterial isolates for these species and others in vitro approached and exceeded the concentration of amotosalen used in the approved platelet and plasma inactivation procedures. These findings suggest that otherwise safe and effective inactivation methods should be further studied to identify possible gaps in their ability to inactivate contemporary, multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. IMPORTANCE Pathogen inactivation is a strategy to enhance the safety of transfused blood products. We identify the compound, amotosalen, widely used for pathogen inactivation, as a bacterial multidrug efflux substrate. Specifically, experiments suggest that amotosalen is pumped out of bacteria by major efflux pumps in E. coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Such efflux pumps are often overexpressed in multidrug-resistant pathogens. Importantly, the MICs for contemporary multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia spp., and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates approached or exceeded the amotosalen concentration used in approved platelet and plasma inactivation procedures, potentially as a result of efflux pump activity. Although there are important differences in methodology between our experiments and blood product pathogen inactivation, these findings suggest that otherwise safe and effective inactivation methods should be further studied to identify possible gaps in their ability to inactivate contemporary, multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens.
