Oxa, Thia, Heterocycle, and Carborane Analogues of SQ109: Bacterial and Protozoal Cell Growth Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: We synthesized a library of 48 analogs of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell growth inhibitor SQ109 in which the ethylene diamine linker was replaced by oxa-, thia- or heterocyclic species, and in some cases, the adamantyl group was replaced by a 1,2-carborane or the N-geranyl group by another hydrophobic species. Compounds were tested against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv and/or Erdman), Mycobacterium smegmatis, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Trypanosoma brucei and two human cell lines (human embryonic kidney, HEK293T, and the hepatocellular carcinoma, HepG2). Most potent activity was found against T. brucei, the causative agent of human African trypanosomiasis, and involved targeting of the mitochondrial membrane potential with 15 SQ109 analogs being more active than was SQ109 in cell growth inhibition, having IC50 values as low as 12 nM (5.5 ng/mL) and a selectivity index of ~300.

Project description:Pseudo-substrate analogues of collagenase from Corynebacterium rathayii, in which the scissile peptide bond is replaced by a phosphinic moiety, were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of this enzyme. The phosphinic tetrapeptide, Z-Phe-psi(PO2CH2)-Gly-Pro-Nle (1), was found to be a potent inhibitor of collagenase with a Ki value of 8 nM. Increasing the length of the phosphinic-containing inhibitors from tetra- to hepta-peptide size further improves the potency of these compounds. The heptapeptide analogue, Z-Phe-Gly-Pro-Phe-psi(PO2CH2)-Gly-Pro-Nle-OMe, with a Ki value of 0.6 nM, is the most potent inhibitor reported to date for bacterial collagenases. A comparison between the phosphinic analogue Z-Phe-psi(PO2CH2)-Gly-Pro-Nle (1) and the phosphonamide peptide Z-Phe-psi(PO2NH)-Gly-Pro-Nle (2) shows that for bacterial collagenase the replacement of a CH2 by an NH group results only in a modest increase in affinity from Ki = 8 nM for compound 1 to Ki = 6 nM for compound 2. Most of the phosphorus-containing inhibitors of this series are slow- or slow-tight-binding inhibitors with second-order rate constants for association and dissociation varying respectively for the kon values from 1 x 10(3) to 26 x 10(3) M-1.s-1 and for the koff values from 3 x 10(-4) to 2 x 10(-5) s-1. Interestingly, the lower affinity of the molecule containing a D residue in the P1 position of the inhibitor, compared with the molecule with an L residue in this position, is mainly the consequence of a lower rate constant for association of these D stereoisomers with the enzyme. This study demonstrates that phosphinic peptide analogues are potent inhibitors of a bacterial collagenase. The development of new phosphinic peptides should lead to the discovery of potent inhibitors of other zinc metalloproteases. Details of how the analogues were synthesized are given in Supplementary Publication SUP 50176 (14 pages), which has been deposited with the British Library Document Supply Centre, Boston Spa, Wetherby, W.

Project description:The genome contributes to the uniqueness of an individual breed, and enables distinctive characteristics to be passed from one generation to the next. The allelic heterogeneity of a certain breed results in a different response to a pathogen with different genomic expression. Disease resistance in chicken is a polygenic trait that involves different genes that confer resistance against pathogens. Such resistance also involves major histocompatibility (MHC) molecules, immunoglobulins, cytokines, interleukins, T and B cells, and CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, which are involved in host protection. The MHC is associated with antigen presentation, antibody production, and cytokine stimulation, which highlight its role in disease resistance. The natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (Nramp-1), interferon (IFN), myxovirus-resistance gene, myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88), receptor-interacting serine/threonine kinase 2 (RIP2), and heterophile cells are involved in disease resistance and susceptibility of chicken. Studies related to disease resistance genetics, epigenetics, and quantitative trait loci would enable the identification of resistance markers and the development of disease resistance breeds. Microbial infections are responsible for significant outbreaks and have blighted the poultry industry. Breeding disease-resistant chicken strains may be helpful in tackling pathogens and increasing the current understanding on host genetics in the fight against communicable diseases. Advanced technologies, such as the CRISPR/Cas9 system, whole genome sequencing, RNA sequencing, and high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping, aid the development of resistant breeds, which would significantly decrease the use of antibiotics and vaccination in poultry. In this review, we aimed to reveal the recent genetic basis of infection and genomic modification that increase resistance against different pathogens in chickens.
