NMR-filtered virtual screening leads to non-metal chelating metallo-?-lactamase inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: There are no clinically useful inhibitors of metallo-?-lactamases (MBLs), which are a growing problem because they hydrolyse almost all ?-lactam antibacterials. Inhibition by most reported MBL inhibitors involves zinc ion chelation. A structure-based virtual screening approach combined with NMR filtering led to the identification of inhibitors of the clinically relevant Verona Integron-encoded MBL (VIM)-2. Crystallographic analyses reveal a new mode of MBL inhibition involving binding adjacent to the active site zinc ions, but which does not involve metal chelation. The results will aid efforts to develop new types of clinically useful inhibitors targeting MBLs/MBL-fold metallo-enzymes involved in antibacterial and anticancer drug resistance.

Virtual Screening and Experimental Testing of B1 Metallo-β-lactamase Inhibitors.

Project description:The global rise of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) is problematic due to their ability to inactivate most β-lactam antibiotics. MBL inhibitors that could be coadministered with and restore the efficacy of β-lactams are highly sought after. In this study, we employ virtual screening of candidate MBL inhibitors without thiols or carboxylates to avoid off-target effects using the Avalanche software package, followed by experimental validation of the selected compounds. As target enzymes, we chose the clinically relevant B1 MBLs NDM-1, IMP-1, and VIM-2. Among 32 compounds selected from an approximately 1.5 million compound library, 6 exhibited IC50 values less than 40 μM against NDM-1 and/or IMP-1. The most potent inhibitors of NDM-1, IMP-1, and VIM-2 had IC50 values of 19 ± 2, 14 ± 1, and 50 ± 20 μM, respectively. While chemically diverse, the most potent inhibitors all contain combinations of hydroxyl, ketone, ester, amide, or sulfonyl groups. Docking studies suggest that these electron-dense moieties are involved in Zn(II) coordination and interaction with protein residues. These novel scaffolds could serve as the basis for further development of MBL inhibitors. A procedure for renaming NDM-1 residues to conform to the class B β-lactamase (BBL) numbering scheme is also included.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of zinc chelating compounds as metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors.

Project description:The syntheses of metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors comprising chelating moieties, with varying zinc affinities, and peptides partly inspired from bacterial peptide sequences, have been undertaken. The zinc chelator strength was varied using the following chelators, arranged in order of ascending binding affinity: dipicolylamine (DPA, tridentate), dipicolyl-1,2,3-triazolylmethylamine (DPTA, tetradentate) dipicolyl ethylenediamine (DPED, tetradentate) and trispicolyl ethylenediamine (TPED, pentadentate). The chosen peptides were mainly based on the known sequence of the C-terminus of the bacterial peptidoglycan precursors. Biological evaluation on clinical bacterial isolates, harbouring either the NDM-1 or VIM-2 metallo-β-lactamase, showed a clear relationship between the zinc chelator strength and restoration of meropenem activity. However, evaluation of toxicity on different cancer cell lines demonstrated a similar trend, and thus inclusion of the bacterial peptides did possess rather high toxicity towards eukaryotic cells.

Structure-Based Virtual Screening for the Discovery of Novel Inhibitors of New Delhi Metallo-?-lactamase-1.

Project description:Bacterial resistance has become a worldwide concern after the emergence of metallo-?-lactamases (MBLs). They represent one of the major mechanisms of bacterial resistance against beta-lactam antibiotics. Among MBLs, New Delhi metallo-?-lactamase-1 NDM-1, the most prevalent type, is extremely efficient in inactivating nearly all-available antibiotics including last resort carbapenems. No inhibitors for NDM-1 are currently available in therapy, making the spread of NDM-1 producing bacterial strains a serious menace. With this perspective, we performed a structure-based in silico screening of a commercially available library using FLAPdock and identified several, non-?-lactam derivatives as promising candidates active against NDM-1. The binding affinities of the highest scoring hits were measured in vitro revealing, for some of them, low micromolar affinity toward NDM-1. For the best inhibitors, efficacy against resistant bacterial strains overexpressing NDM-1 was validated, confirming their favorable synergistic effect in combination with the carbapenem Meropenem.

Virtual screening identifies broad-spectrum β-lactamase inhibitors with activity on clinically relevant serine- and metallo-carbapenemases.

Project description:Bacteria are known to evade β-lactam antibiotic action by producing β-lactamases (BLs), including carbapenemases, which are able to hydrolyze nearly all available β-lactams. The production of BLs represents one of the best known and most targeted mechanisms of resistance in bacteria. We have performed the parallel screening of commercially available compounds against a panel of clinically relevant BLs: class A CTX-M-15 and KPC-2, subclass B1 NDM-1 and VIM-2 MBLs, and the class C P. aeruginosa AmpC. The results show that all BLs prefer scaffolds having electron pair donors: KPC-2 is preferentially inhibited by sulfonamide and tetrazole-based derivatives, NDM-1 by compounds bearing a thiol, a thiosemicarbazide or thiosemicarbazone moiety, while VIM-2 by triazole-containing molecules. Few broad-spectrum BLs inhibitors were identified; among these, compound 40 potentiates imipenem activity against an NDM-1-producing E. coli clinical strain. The binary complexes of the two most promising compounds binding NDM-1 and VIM-2 were obtained at high resolution, providing strong insights to improve molecular docking simulations, especially regarding the interaction of MBLs with inhibitors.

Discovery of novel new Delhi metallo-?-lactamases-1 inhibitors by multistep virtual screening.

Project description:The emergence of NDM-1 containing multi-antibiotic resistant "Superbugs" necessitates the needs of developing of novel NDM-1inhibitors. In this study, we report the discovery of novel NDM-1 inhibitors by multi-step virtual screening. From a 2,800,000 virtual drug-like compound library selected from the ZINC database, we generated a focused NDM-1 inhibitor library containing 298 compounds of which 44 chemical compounds were purchased and evaluated experimentally for their ability to inhibit NDM-1 in vitro. Three novel NDM-1 inhibitors with micromolar IC50 values were validated. The most potent inhibitor, VNI-41, inhibited NDM-1 with an IC50 of 29.6 ± 1.3 ?M. Molecular dynamic simulation revealed that VNI-41 interacted extensively with the active site. In particular, the sulfonamide group of VNI-41 interacts directly with the metal ion Zn1 that is critical for the catalysis. These results demonstrate the feasibility of applying virtual screening methodologies in identifying novel inhibitors for NDM-1, a metallo-?-lactamase with a malleable active site and provide a mechanism base for rational design of NDM-1 inhibitors using sulfonamide as a functional scaffold.

Discovery of the Novel Inhibitor Against New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase Based on Virtual Screening and Molecular Modelling.

Project description:New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1), one of the metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), leads to antibiotic resistance in clinical treatments due to the strong ability of hydrolysis to almost all kinds of β-lactam antibiotics. Therefore, there is the urgent need for the research and development of the novel drug-resistant inhibitors targeting NDM-1. In this study, ZINC05683641 was screened as potential NDM-1 inhibitor by virtual screening and the inhibitor mechanism of this compound was explored based on molecular dynamics simulation. The nitrocefin assay showed that the IC50 value of ZINC05683641 was 13.59 ± 0.52 μM, indicating that the hydrolytic activity of NDM-1 can be obviously suppressed by ZINC05683641. Further, the binding mode of ZINC05683641 with NDM-1 was obtained by molecular modeling, binding free energy calculation, mutagenesis assays and fluorescence-quenching assays. As results, ILE-35, MET-67, VAL-73, TRP-93, CYS-208, ASN-220 and HIS-250 played the key roles in the binding of NDM-1 with ZINC05683641. Interestingly, these key residues were exactly located in the catalytic activity region of NDM-1, implying that the inhibitor mechanism of ZINC05683641 against NDM-1 was the competitive inhibition. These findings will provide an available approach to research and develop new drug against NDM-1 and treatment for bacterial resistance.

Binding of 2-(Triazolylthio)acetamides to Metallo-?-lactamase CcrA Determined with NMR.

Project description:Metallo-?-lactamase (MBL)-producing bacteria resistant to ?-lactam antibiotics are a serious threat to human health. Despite great efforts and important progress in the discovery of MBL inhibitors (MBLIs), there is none in clinical use. Herein, inhibitor complexes of the MBL CcrA were investigated by NMR spectroscopy to provide perspectives on the further development of 2-(triazolylthio)acetamide-type MBLIs. By using the NMR-based chemical shift perturbation (CSP) and direction of CSP methodologies together with molecular docking, the spatial orientation of three compounds in the CcrA active site was investigated (4-6). Inhibitor 6 showed the best binding affinity (K d ? 2.3 ± 0.3 ?M), followed by 4 (K d = 11 ± 11 ?M) and 5 (K d = 34 ± 43 ?M), as determined from the experimental NMR data. Based on the acquired knowledge, analogues of other MBLIs (1-3) were designed and evaluated in silico with the purpose of examining a strategy for promoting their interactions with the catalytic zinc ions.

P1' Residue-Oriented Virtual Screening for Potent and Selective Phosphinic (Dehydro) Dipeptide Inhibitors of Metallo-Aminopeptidases.

Project description:Designing side chain substituents complementary to enzyme binding pockets is of great importance in the construction of potent and selective phosphinic dipeptide inhibitors of metallo-aminopeptidases. Proper structure selection makes inhibitor construction more economic, as the development process typically consists of multiple iterative preparation/bioassay steps. On the basis of these principles, using noncomplex computation and modeling methodologies, we comprehensively screened 900 commercial precursors of the P1' residues of phosphinic dipeptide and dehydrodipeptide analogs to identify the most promising ligands of 52 metallo-dependent aminopeptidases with known crystal structures. The results revealed several nonproteinogenic residues with an improved energy of binding compared with the best known inhibitors. The data are discussed taking into account the selectivity and stereochemical implications of the enzymes. Using this approach, we were able to identify nontrivial structural elements substituting the recognized phosphinic peptidomimetic scaffold of metallo-aminopeptidase inhibitors.

Monitoring protein-metal binding by <sup>19</sup>F NMR - a case study with the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1.

Project description:19F NMR protein observed spectroscopy is evaluated as a method for analysing protein metal binding using the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1. The results imply 19F NMR is useful for analysis of different metallated protein states and investigations on equilibrium states in the presence of inhibitors. One limitation is that 19F labelling may affect metal ion binding. The sensitive readout of changes in protein behaviour observed by 19F NMR spectra coupled with the broad scope of tolerated conditions (e.g. buffer variations) means 19F NMR should be further investigated for studying metal ion interactions and the inhibition of metallo-enzymes during drug discovery.
