2-(Quinolin-4-yloxy)acetamides Are Active against Drug-Susceptible and Drug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strains.

ABSTRACT: 2-(Quinolin-4-yloxy)acetamides have been described as potent in vitro inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth. Herein, additional chemical modifications of lead compounds were carried out, yielding highly potent antitubercular agents with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values as low as 0.05 ?M. Further, the synthesized compounds were active against drug-resistant strains and were devoid of apparent toxicity to Vero and HaCat cells (IC50s ? 20 ?M). In addition, the 2-(quinolin-4-yloxy)acetamides showed intracellular activity against the bacilli in infected macrophages with action similar to rifampin, low risk of drug-drug interactions, and no sign of cardiac toxicity in zebrafish (Danio rerio) at 1 and 5 ?M. Therefore, these data indicate that this class of compounds may furnish candidates for future development to, hopefully, provide drug alternatives for tuberculosis treatment.

Project description:Tuberculosis caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strains is a growing problem in many countries. The availability of the complete nucleotide sequences of several MTB genomes allows to use the comparative genomics as a tool to study the relationships of strains and differences in their evolutionary history including acquisition of drug-resistance. In our work, we sequenced three genomes of Russian MTB strains of different phenotypes--drug susceptible, MDR and XDR. Of them, MDR and XDR strains were collected in Tomsk (Siberia, Russia) during the local TB outbreak in 1998-1999 and belonged to rare KQ and KY families in accordance with IS6110 typing, which are considered endemic for Russia. Based on phylogenetic analysis, our isolates belonged to different genetic families, Beijing, Ural and LAM, which made the direct comparison of their genomes impossible. For this reason we performed their comparison in the broader context of all M. tuberculosis genomes available in GenBank. The list of unique individual non-synonymous SNPs for each sequenced isolate was formed by comparison with all SNPs detected within the same phylogenetic group. For further functional analysis, all proteins with unique SNPs were ascribed to 20 different functional classes based on Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COG). We have confirmed drug resistant status of our isolates that harbored almost all known drug-resistance associated mutations. Unique SNPs of an XDR isolate CTRI-4(XDR), belonging to a Beijing family were compared in more detail with SNPs of additional 14 Russian XDR strains of the same family. Only type specific mutations in genes of repair, replication and recombination system (COG category L) were found common within this group. Probably the other unique SNPs discovered in CTRI-4(XDR) may have an important role in adaptation of this microorganism to its surrounding and in escape from antituberculosis drugs treatment.

Project description:BackgroundTuberculosis is a serious infectious disease affecting millions of people. In spite of efforts to reduce the disease, increasing antibiotic resistance has contributed to persist in the top 10 causes of death worldwide. In fact, the increased cases of multi (MDR) and extreme drug resistance (XDR) worldwide remains the main challenge for tuberculosis control. Whole genome sequencing is a powerful tool for predicting drug resistance-related variants, studying lineages, tracking transmission, and defining outbreaks. This study presents the identification and characterization of resistant clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis including a phylogenetic and molecular resistance profile study by sequencing the complete genome of 24 strains from different provinces of Ecuador.ResultsGenomic sequencing was used to identify the variants causing resistance. A total of 15/21 isolates were identified as MDR, 4/21 as pre-XDR and 2/21 as XDR, with three isolates discarded due to low quality; the main sub-lineage was LAM (61.9%) and Haarlem (19%) but clades X, T and S were identified. Of the six pre-XDR and XDR strains, it is noteworthy that five come from females; four come from the LAM sub-lineage and two correspond to the X-class sub-lineage. A core genome of 3,750 genes, distributed in 295 subsystems, was determined. Among these, 64 proteins related to virulence and implicated in the pathogenicity of M. tuberculosis and 66 possible pharmacological targets stand out. Most variants result in nonsynonymous amino acid changes and the most frequent genotypes were identified as conferring resistance to rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, para-aminosalicylic acid and streptomycin. However, an increase in the resistance to fluoroquinolones was detected.ConclusionThis work shows for the first time the variability of circulating resistant strains between men and women in Ecuador, highlighting the usefulness of genomic sequencing for the identification of emerging resistance. In this regard, we found an increase in fluoroquinolone resistance. Further sampling effort is needed to determine the total variability and associations with the metadata obtained to generate better health policies.
