Hybrid Inhibitors of DNA Gyrase A and B: Design, Synthesis and Evaluation.

ABSTRACT: The discovery of multi-targeting ligands of bacterial enzymes is an important strategy to combat rapidly spreading antimicrobial resistance. Bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV are validated targets for the development of antibiotics. They can be inhibited at their catalytic sites or at their ATP binding sites. Here we present the design of new hybrids between the catalytic inhibitor ciprofloxacin and ATP-competitive inhibitors that show low nanomolar inhibition of DNA gyrase and antibacterial activity against Gram-negative pathogens. The most potent hybrid 3a has MICs of 0.5 µg/mL against Klebsiella pneumoniae, 4 µg/mL against Enterobacter cloacae, and 2 µg/mL against Escherichia coli. In addition, inhibition of mutant E. coli strains shows that these hybrid inhibitors interact with both subunits of DNA gyrase (GyrA, GyrB), and that binding to both of these sites contributes to their antibacterial activity.

Project description:A series of Bis-pyrazole Schiff bases (6a-d and 7a-d) and mono-pyrazole Schiff bases (8a-d and 9a-d) were designed and synthesized through the reaction of 5-aminopyrazoles 1a-d with aldehydes 2-5 using mild reaction condition with a good yield percentage. The chemical structure of newly formed Schiff bases tethered pyrazole core was confirmed based on spectral and experimental data. All the newly formed pyrazole Schiff bases were evaluated against eight pathogens (Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and fungi). The result exhibited that, most of them have good and broad activities. Among those, only six Schiff bases (6b, 7b, 7c, 8a, 8d, and 9b) displayed MIC values (0.97-62.5 µg/mL) compared to Tetracycline (15.62-62.5 µg/mL) and Amphotericin B (15.62-31.25 µg/mL), MBC values (1.94-87.5 µg/mL) and selectivity to tumor cell than normal cells. Immunomodulatory activities showed that the promising Schiff bases increase the immunomodulator effect of defense cell and the Schiff base 8a is the highest one by (Intra. killing activity = 136.5 ± 0.3%) having a pyrazole moiety as well as amide function (O=C-NH2) and piperidinyl core. Furthermore, the most potent one exhibited broad activity depending on both MIC and MBC values. Moreover, to study the mechanism of these pyrazole Schiff bases, two active Schiff bases 8a and 9b from six derivatives were introduced to study the enzyme assay as dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) on E. coli organism and DNA gyrase with two different organisms, S. aureus and B. subtilis, to determine the inhibitory activities with lower values in the case of DNA gyrase (8a and 9b) or nearly as DHFR compound 9b, while pyrazole 8a showed excellent inhibitory against all enzyme assay. The molecular docking study against dihydrofolate reductase and DNA gyrase were performed to study the binding between active site in the pocket with the two Schiff bases (8a and 9b) that exhibited good binding affinity with different bond types as H-bonding, aren-aren, and arene-cation interaction as well as study the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of the two active Schiff bases 8a and 9b.
