A Cephalosporin Prochelator Inhibits New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase 1 without Removing Zinc.

ABSTRACT: Antibacterial drug resistance is a rapidly growing clinical threat, partially due to expression of β-lactamase enzymes, which confer resistance to bacteria by hydrolyzing and inactivating β-lactam antibiotics. The increasing prevalence of metallo-β-lactamases poses a unique challenge, as currently available β-lactamase inhibitors target the active site of serine β-lactamases but are ineffective against the zinc-containing active sites of metallo-β-lactamases. There is an urgent need for metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors and antibiotics that circumvent resistance mediated by metallo-β-lactamases in order to extend the utility of existing β-lactam antibiotics for treating infection. Here we investigated the antibacterial chelator-releasing prodrug PcephPT (2-((((6R,7R)-2-carboxy-8-oxo-7-(2-phenylacetamido)-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-en-3-yl)methyl)thio) pyridine 1-oxide) as an inhibitor of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1). PcephPT is an experimental compound that we have previously shown inhibits growth of β-lactamase-expressing E. coli using a mechanism that is dependent on both copper availability and β-lactamase expression. Here, we found that PcephPT, in addition to being a copper-dependent antibacterial compound, inhibits hydrolysis activity of purified NDM-1with an IC₅₀ of 7.6 μM without removing zinc from the active site and restores activity of the carbapenem antibiotic meropenem against NDM-1-producing E. coli. This work demonstrates that targeting a metal-binding pharmacophore to β-lactamase-producing bacteria is a promising strategy for inhibition of both bacterial growth and metallo-β-lactamases.

Clinical Variants of New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase Are Evolving To Overcome Zinc Scarcity.

Project description:Use and misuse of antibiotics have driven the evolution of serine β-lactamases to better recognize new generations of β-lactam drugs, but the selective pressures driving evolution of metallo-β-lactamases are less clear. Here, we present evidence that New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) is evolving to overcome the selective pressure of zinc(II) scarcity. Studies of NDM-1, NDM-4 (M154L), and NDM-12 (M154L, G222D) demonstrate that the point mutant M154L, contained in 50% of clinical NDM variants, selectively enhances resistance to the penam ampicillin at low zinc(II) concentrations relevant to infection sites. Each of the clinical variants is shown to be progressively more thermostable and to bind zinc(II) more tightly than NDM-1, but a selective enhancement of penam turnover at low zinc(II) concentrations indicates that most of the improvement derives from catalysis rather than stability. X-ray crystallography of NDM-4 and NDM-12, as well as bioinorganic spectroscopy of dizinc(II), zinc(II)/cobalt(II), and dicobalt(II) metalloforms probe the mechanism of enhanced resistance and reveal perturbations of the dinuclear metal cluster that underlie improved catalysis. These studies support the proposal that zinc(II) scarcity, rather than changes in antibiotic structure, is driving the evolution of new NDM variants in clinical settings.

New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, United States.

Project description:We characterized 9 New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (5 Klebsiella pneumoniae, 2 Escherichia coli, 1 Enterobacter cloacae, 1 Salmonella enterica serovar Senftenberg) isolates identified in the United States and cultured from 8 patients in 5 states during April 2009-March 2011. Isolates were resistant to β-lactams, fluoroquinolones, and aminoglycosides, demonstrated MICs ≤1 µg/mL of colistin and polymyxin, and yielded positive metallo-β-lactamase screening results. Eight isolates had blaNDM-1, and 1 isolate had a novel allele (blaNDM-6). All 8 patients had recently been in India or Pakistan, where 6 received inpatient health care. Plasmids carrying blaNDM frequently carried AmpC or extended spectrum β-lactamase genes. Two K. pneumoniae isolates and a K. pneumoniae isolate from Sweden shared incompatibility group A/C plasmids with indistinguishable restriction patterns and a common blaNDM fragment; all 3 were multilocus sequence type 14. Restriction profiles of the remaining New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase plasmids, including 2 from the same patient, were diverse.

Structure of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1).

Project description:Antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens poses a serious threat to human health and the metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) enzymes are responsible for much of this resistance. The recently identified New Delhi MBL 1 (NDM-1) is a novel member of this family that is capable of hydrolysing a wide variety of clinically important antibiotics. Here, the crystal structure of NDM-1 from Klebsiella pneumoniae is reported and its structure and active site are discussed in the context of other recently deposited coordinates of NDM-1.

Pterostilbene restores carbapenem susceptibility in New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing isolates by inhibiting the activity of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamases.

Project description:Background and purposeBacteria producing New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) are an increasing clinical threat. NDM-1 can inactivate almost all β-lactams and is not sensitive to any existing β-lactamase inhibitors. To identify effective inhibitors of the NDM-1 enzyme and clarify the mechanism of action, a "lead compound" for developing more potent NDM-1 inhibitors needs to be provided.Experimental approachNatural compounds were tested by enzyme inhibition screening to find potential inhibitors. MIC assays, growth curve assays, and time-kill assays were conducted to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activity of pterostilbene and the combination of pterostilbene and meropenem. A murine thigh model and a mouse pneumonia model were used to evaluate the in vivo efficacy of combined therapy. Molecular modelling and a mutational analysis were used to clarify the mechanism of action.Key resultsPterostilbene significantly inhibited NDM-1 hydrolysis activity in enzyme inhibition screening assays and effectively restored the effectiveness of meropenem in vitro with NDM-expressing isolates in antibacterial activity assays. In addition, the combined therapy effectively reduced the bacterial burden in a murine thigh model and protected mice from pneumonia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae. By means of molecular dynamics simulation, we observed that pterostilbene localized to the catalytic pocket of NDM-1, hindering substrate binding to NDM-1 and reducing NDM-1 activity.Conclusions and implicationsThese findings indicated that pterostilbene combined with meropenem may offer a new safe and potential "lead compound" for the further development of NDM-1 inhibitors.

New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacterales Bacteria, Switzerland, 2019-2020.

Project description:Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) bacteria are a critical global health concern; New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) enzymes account for >25% of all CPE found in Switzerland. We characterized NDM-positive CPE submitted to the Swiss National Reference Center for Emerging Antibiotic Resistance during a 2-year period (January 2019-December 2020) phenotypically and by using whole-genome sequencing. Most isolates were either Klebsiella pneumoniae (59/141) or Escherichia coli (52/141), and >50% were obtained from screening swabs. Among the 108 sequenced isolates, NDM-1 was the most prevalent variant, occurring in 56 isolates, mostly K. pneumoniae (34/56); the next most prevalent was NDM-5, which occurred in 49 isolates, mostly E. coli (40/49). Fourteen isolates coproduced a second carbapenemase, predominantly an OXA-48-like enzyme, and almost one third of isolates produced a 16S rRNA methylase conferring panresistance to aminoglycosides. We identified successful plasmids and global lineages as major factors contributing to the increasing prevalence of NDMs in Switzerland.

Computationally designed peptide macrocycle inhibitors of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1.

Project description:The rise of antibiotic resistance calls for new therapeutics targeting resistance factors such as the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1), a bacterial enzyme that degrades β-lactam antibiotics. We present structure-guided computational methods for designing peptide macrocycles built from mixtures of l- and d-amino acids that are able to bind to and inhibit targets of therapeutic interest. Our methods explicitly consider the propensity of a peptide to favor a binding-competent conformation, which we found to predict rank order of experimentally observed IC50 values across seven designed NDM-1- inhibiting peptides. We were able to determine X-ray crystal structures of three of the designed inhibitors in complex with NDM-1, and in all three the conformation of the peptide is very close to the computationally designed model. In two of the three structures, the binding mode with NDM-1 is also very similar to the design model, while in the third, we observed an alternative binding mode likely arising from internal symmetry in the shape of the design combined with flexibility of the target. Although challenges remain in robustly predicting target backbone changes, binding mode, and the effects of mutations on binding affinity, our methods for designing ordered, binding-competent macrocycles should have broad applicability to a wide range of therapeutic targets.

Dipicolinic Acid Derivatives as Inhibitors of New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase-1.

Project description:The efficacy of β-lactam antibiotics is threatened by the emergence and global spread of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) mediated resistance, specifically New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1). By utilization of fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD), a new class of inhibitors for NDM-1 and two related β-lactamases, IMP-1 and VIM-2, was identified. On the basis of 2,6-dipicolinic acid (DPA), several libraries were synthesized for structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis. Inhibitor 36 (IC50 = 80 nM) was identified to be highly selective for MBLs when compared to other Zn(II) metalloenzymes. While DPA displayed a propensity to chelate metal ions from NDM-1, 36 formed a stable NDM-1:Zn(II):inhibitor ternary complex, as demonstrated by 1H NMR, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, equilibrium dialysis, intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence emission, and UV-vis spectroscopy. When coadministered with 36 (at concentrations nontoxic to mammalian cells), the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of imipenem against clinical isolates of Eschericia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae harboring NDM-1 were reduced to susceptible levels.
