Revisiting Activation of and Mechanism of Resistance to Compound IQG-607 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

ABSTRACT: IQG-607 is a metal complex previously reported as a promising anti-tuberculosis (TB) drug against isoniazid (INH)-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Unexpectedly, we found that INH-resistant clinical isolates were resistant to IQG-607. Spontaneous mutants resistant to IQG-607 were subjected to whole-genome sequencing, and all sequenced colonies carried alterations in the katG gene. The katG(S315T) mutation was sufficient to confer resistance to IQG-607 in both MIC assays and inside macrophages. Moreover, overexpression of the InhA(S94A) protein caused IQG-607's resistance.

Project description:Bedaquiline (BDQ) was historically listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2018 as the preferred option for rifampin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). However, when there is no other effective regimen, the side effects and weaknesses of BDQ limit its use of MDR-TB. There is a black box warning in the package insert of BDQ to warn patients and health care professionals that this drug may increase the risk of unexplained mortality and QT prolongation, which may lead to abnormal and potentially fatal cardiac rhythm. In addition, the phenomenon of elevated liver enzymes in clinical trials of BDQ is a potential sign of hepatotoxicity. Therefore, it is still a medical need to develop new compounds with better safety profiles, patient compliance, affordability, and the ability to retain the efficacy of BDQ. After extensive lead generation and optimization, a new analog, sudapyridine (WX-081), was selected as a potential new antituberculosis candidate to move into clinical trials. Here, we evaluated WX-081's overall preclinical profile, including efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and toxicology. The in vitro activity of WX-081 against drug-sensitive and drug-resistant tuberculosis was comparable to that of BDQ, and there was comparable efficacy between WX-081 and BDQ in both acute and chronic mouse tuberculosis models using low-dose aerosol infection. Moreover, WX-081 improved pharmacokinetic parameters and, more importantly, had no adverse effects on blood pressure, heart rate, or qualitative ECG parameters from nonclinical toxicology studies. WX-081 is under investigation in a phase 2 study in patients. IMPORTANCE This study is aimed at chemotherapy for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), mainly to develop new anti-TB drugs to kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a microorganism with strong drug resistance. In this study, the structure of a potent antituberculosis compound, bedaquiline (BDQ), was optimized to generate a new compound, sudapyridine (WX-081). This experiment showed that its efficacy was similar to that of BDQ, its cardiotoxicity was lower, and it had good kinetic characteristics. This compound will certainly achieve significant results in the control and treatment of tuberculosis in the future.
