Design, Synthesis, and Antibacterial Evaluation of Novel Ocotillol Derivatives and Their Synergistic Effects with Conventional Antibiotics.

ABSTRACT: The improper use of antibiotics has led to the development of bacterial resistance, resulting in fewer antibiotics for many bacterial infections. Especially, the drug resistance of hospital-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA) is distinctly serious. This research designed and synthesized two series of 3-substituted ocotillol derivatives in order to improve their anti-HA-MRSA potency and synergistic antibacterial activity. Among the synthesized compounds, 20-31 showed minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 1-64 µg/mL in vitro against HA-MRSA 18-19, 18-20, and S. aureus ATCC29213. Compound 21 showed the best antibacterial activity, with an MIC of 1 μg/mL and had synergistic inhibitory effects. The fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) value was 0.375, when combined with chloramphenicol (CHL) or kanamycin (KAN). The structure-activity relationships (SARs) of ocotillol-type derivatives were also summarized. Compound 21 has the potential to be developed as a novel antibacterial agent or potentiator against HA-MRSA.

Design, Synthesis and Antibacterial Evaluation of 3-Substituted Ocotillol-Type Derivatives.

Project description:Antibiotic resistance has become a serious global problem that threatens public health. In our previous work, we found that ocotillol-type triterpenoid saponin showed good antibacterial activity. Based on preliminary structure-activity relationship, novel serious C-3 substituted ocotillol-type derivatives 7?26 were designed and synthesized. The in vitro antibacterial activity was tested on five bacterial strains (B. subtilis 168, S. aureus RN4220, E. coli DH5?, A. baum ATCC19606 and MRSA USA300) and compared with the tests on contrast. Among these derivatives, C-3 position free hydroxyl substituted compounds 7?14, showed good antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Furthermore, compound 22 exhibited excellent antibacterial activity with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) values of 2 ?g/mL against MRSA USA300 and 4 ?g/mL against B. subtilis. The structure-activity relationships of all current ocotillol-type derivatives our team synthesised were summarized. In addition, the prediction of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties and the study of pharmacophores were also conducted. These results can provide a guide to further design and synthesis works.

Design, synthesis and evaluation of the antibacterial enhancement activities of amino dihydroartemisinin derivatives.

Project description:Artemisinin (ART) and its derivatives artesunate (AS), dihydroartemisinin (DHA) are a group of drugs containing a sesquiterpene lactone used to treat malaria. Previously, AS was shown to not have antibacterial activity but to significantly increase the antibacterial activities of β-lactam antibiotics against E. coli. Herein, molecular docking experiments showed that ART, AS and DHA could dock into AcrB very well, especially DHA and AS; both DHA and AS had the same docking pose. The affinity between AS and AcrB seemed weaker than that of DHA, while the succinate tail of AS, which was like a "bug", could extend in the binding pocket very well. Imitating the parent nucleus of DHA and the succinate tail of AS, twenty-one DHA derivatives 4a-u were designed and synthesized. Among them, seventeen were new compounds. The synergistic effects against E. coli AG100A/pET28a-AcrB showed among the new structures 4k, 4l, 4m, 4n, and 4r exhibited significant synergism with β-lactam antibiotics although they had no direct antibacterial activities themselves. The bacterial growth assay showed that only 4k in combination with ampicillin or cefuroxime could totally inhibit bacterial growth from 0 to 12 h, demonstrating that 4k had the best antibacterial enhancement effect. In conclusion, our results provided a new idea and several candidate compounds for antibacterial activity enhancers against multidrug resistant E. coli.

Anti-Virulence Strategy of Novel Dehydroabietic Acid Derivatives: Design, Synthesis, and Antibacterial Evaluation.

Project description:Anti-virulence strategies are attractive and interesting strategies for controlling bacterial diseases because virulence factors are fundamental to the infection process of numerous serious phytopathogenics. To extend the novel anti-virulence agents, a series of dehydroabietic acid (DAA) derivatives decorated with amino alcohol unit were semi-synthesized based on structural modification of the renewable natural DAA and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac), and Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa). Compound 2b showed the most promising antibacterial activity against Xoo with an EC50 of 2.7 μg mL-1. Furthermore, compound 2b demonstrated remarkable control effectiveness against bacterial leaf blight (BLB) in rice, with values of 48.6% and 61.4% for curative and protective activities. In addition, antibacterial behavior suggested that compound 2b could suppress various virulence factors, including EPS, biofilm, swimming motility, and flagella. Therefore, the current study provided promising lead compounds for novel bactericides discovery by inhibiting bacterial virulence factors.

Design, synthesis and antibacterial activity evaluation of ebselen derivatives in NDM-1 producing bacteria.

Project description:New Delhi-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) is a type of metal-β-lactamase. NDM-1-expressing bacteria can spread rapidly across the globe via plasmid transfer, which greatly undermines the clinical efficacy of the carbapenem. Research on NDM-1 inhibitors has attracted extensive attention. However, there are currently no clinically available NDM-1 inhibitors. Our research group has reported that 1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one derivatives as covalent NDM-1 inhibitors can restore the efficacy of meropenem (Mem) against NDM-1 producing strains. In this study, 22 compounds were designed and synthesized, which restored the Mem susceptibility of NDM-1-expressing Escherichia coli. and its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was reduced by 2-16 times. Representative compound A4 showed significant synergistic antibacterial activity against NDM-1-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) isolates. The in vitro NDM-1 enzyme inhibitory activity test showed that the IC50 was 1.26 ± 0.37 μM, which had low cytotoxicity. When combined with meropenem, it showed good combined antibacterial activity. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) analysis demonstrates that compound A4 covalently binds to NDM-1 enzyme. In summary, compound A4 is a potent NDM-1 covalent inhibitor and provides a potential lead compound for drug development in resistant bacteria.

Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Lophanic Acid Derivatives as Antifungal and Antibacterial Agents.

Project description:In order to discover more promising antifungal and antibacterial agents, a series of new derivatives were designed and synthesized by structure modification based on the naturally occurring antimicrobial compound lophanic acid. The structures of all the target compounds were well characterized by spectroscopic data. The stereochemistry of these compounds was further determined through the X-ray diffraction analysis of 6a. The synthetic compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities against filamentous fungi (T. rubrum, T. mentagrophytes), yeasts (C. neoformans, C. albicans) and Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (MRSA, S. mutans, S. sobrinus, and E. coli). Among them, 3d and 3i are found as the most promising leads that showed potent inhibitory effects against all the tested fungal and bacterial strains except for E. coli. The presence of the C-20 carboxylic ester groups and the free hydroxy group at C-13 was found to be essential for the antifungal and antibacterial activities of the lophanic acid derivatives.

Design, Synthesis and Antibacterial Evaluation of Some New 2-Phenyl-quinoline-4-carboxylic Acid Derivatives.

Project description:A series of new 2-phenyl-quinoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives was synthesized starting from aniline, 2-nitrobenzaldehyde, pyruvic acid followed by Doebner reaction, amidation, reduction, acylation and amination. All of the newly-synthesized compounds were characterized by ¹H-NMR, (13)C-NMR and HRMS. The antibacterial activities of these compounds against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis), as well as one strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria were evaluated by the agar diffusion method (zone of inhibition) and a broth dilution method (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)), and their structure-activity relationships were obtained and discussed. The results revealed that some compounds displayed good antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, and Compounds 5a₄ and 5a₇ showed the best inhibition with an MIC value of 64 μg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus and with an MIC value of 128 μg/mL against Escherichia coli, respectively. The results of the MTT assay illustrated the low cytotoxicity of Compound 5a4.

Evaluation of the Synergistic Antibacterial Effects of Fosfomycin in Combination with Selected Antibiotics against Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.

Project description:The spread of multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens and the lagging pace in the development of novel chemotherapeutic agents warrant the use of combination therapy as a reliable, cost-effective interim option. In this study, the synergistic effects of fosfomycin in combination with other antibiotics were assessed. Of the 193 isolates, 90.6% were non-susceptible to fosfomycin, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of ≥128 µg/mL. Antibacterial evaluation of fosfomycin-resistant isolates indicated multi-drug resistance to various antibiotic classes. Combinations of fosfomycin with 12 commonly used antibiotics synergistically inhibited most fosfomycin-resistant isolates. The fractional inhibitory concentration index indicated that combining fosfomycin with either aminoglycosides, glycylcyclines, fluoroquinolones, or colistin resulted in 2- to 16-fold reduction in the MIC of fosfomycin. Time-kill kinetics further confirmed the synergistic bactericidal effects of fosfomycin in combination with either amikacin, gentamicin, tobramycin, minocycline, tigecycline, or colistin, with more than 99.9% reduction in bacterial cells. Fosfomycin-based combination therapy might serve as an alternative option for the treatment of MDR A. baumannii. Further steps including in vivo efficacy and toxicity in experimental models of infection are required prior to clinical applications.

Chemical synthesis enables biochemical and antibacterial evaluation of streptolydigin antibiotics.

Project description:Inhibition of bacterial transcription represents an effective and clinically validated anti-infective chemotherapeutic strategy. We describe the evolution of our approach to the streptolydigin class of antibiotics that target bacterial RNA polymerases (RNAPs). This effort resulted in the synthesis and biological evaluation of streptolydigin, streptolydiginone, streptolic acid, and a series of new streptolydigin-based agents. Subsequent biochemical evaluation of RNAP inhibition demonstrated that the presence of both streptolic acid and tetramic acid subunits was required for activity of this class of antibiotics. In addition, we identified 10,11-dihydrostreptolydigin as a new RNAP-targeting agent, which was assembled with high synthetic efficiency of 15 steps in the longest linear sequence. Dihydrostreptolydigin inhibited three representative bacterial RNAPs and displayed in vitro antibacterial activity against S. salivarius . The overall increase in synthetic efficiency combined with substantial antibacterial activity of this fully synthetic antibiotic demonstrates the power of organic synthesis in enabling design and comprehensive in vitro pharmacological evaluation of new chemical agents that target bacterial transcription.
