?-CA-specific inhibitor dithiocarbamate Fc14-584B: a novel antimycobacterial agent with potential to treat drug-resistant tuberculosis.


ABSTRACT: Inhibition of novel biological pathways in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) creates the potential for alternative approaches for treating drug-resistant tuberculosis. In vitro studies have shown that dithiocarbamate-derived ?-carbonic anhydrase (?-CA) inhibitors Fc14-594?A and Fc14-584B effectively inhibit the activity of Mtb ?-CA enzymes. We screened the dithiocarbamates for toxicity, and studied the in vivo inhibitory effect of the least toxic inhibitor on M. marinum in a zebrafish model. In our toxicity screening, Fc14-584B emerged as the least toxic and showed minimal toxicity in 5-day-old larvae at 300?µM concentration. In vitro inhibition of M. marinum showed that both compounds inhibited growth at a concentration of 75?µM. In vivo inhibition studies using 300?µM Fc14-584B showed significant (p?>?.05) impairment of bacterial growth in zebrafish larvae at 6?days post infection. Our studies highlight the therapeutic potential of Fc14-584B as a ?-CA inhibitor against Mtb, and that dithiocarbamate compounds may be developed into potent anti-tuberculosis drugs.

Inhibition of novel biological pathways in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) creates the potential for alternative approaches for treating drug-resistant tuberculosis. In vitro studies have shown that dithiocarbamate-derived β-carbonic anhydrase (β-CA) inhibitors Fc14-594 A and Fc14-584B effectively inhibit the activity of Mtb β-CA enzymes. We screened the dithiocarbamates for toxicity, and studied the in vivo inhibitory effect of the least toxic inhibitor on M. marinum in a zebrafish model. In o  ...[more]
