PA-824 is a promising drug candidate for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). It is in phase II clinical trials as part of the first newly designed regimen containing multiple novel antituberculosis drugs (PA-824 in combination with moxifloxacin and pyrazinamide). However, given that the genes involved in resistance against PA-824 are not fully conserved in theMycobacterium tuberculosiscomplex (MTBC), this regimen might not be equally effective against different MTBC genotypes. To investigate this question, we sequenced two PA-824 resistance genes (fgd1[Rv0407] andddn[Rv3547]) in 65 MTBC strains representing major phylogenetic lineages. The MICs of representative strains were determined using the modified proportion method in the Bactec MGIT 960 system. Our analysis revealed single-nucleotide polymorphisms in both genes that were specific either for several genotypes or for individual strains, yet none of these mutations significantly affected the PA-824 MICs (≤0.25 μg/ml). These results were supported byin silicomodeling of the mutations identified in Fgd1. In contrast, “Mycobacterium canettii” strains displayed a higher MIC of 8 μg/ml. In conclusion, we found a large genetic diversity in PA-824 resistance genes that did not lead to elevated PA-824 MICs. In contrast,M. canettiistrains had MICs that were above the plasma concentrations of PA-824 documented so far in clinical trials. AsM. canettiiis also intrinsically resistant against pyrazinamide, new regimens containing PA-824 and pyrazinamide might not be effective in treatingM. canettiiinfections. This finding has implications for the design of multiple ongoing clinical trials.

“…Moreover, we performed in silico modeling of the mutations in Fgd1 using the previously solved crystal structure of this protein (4). We included three PA-824-resistant positive controls (H37Rv-T3, H37Rv-5A1, and H37Rv-14A1) which had been previously analyzed genotypically and phenotypically (19,25).…”

“…The effects of the analogs on exponentially growing S. aureus 8325 and membrane integrity were evaluated as described previously (11). Cytotoxicity was evaluated by exposing normal CCD-32Sk human skin fibroblast cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA) to antibiotics for 48 h, followed by an MTT [3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide] assay as described previously (8).…”

The potential for reutericyclin derivatives to be used as topical antibiotics to treat staphylococcal skin infections was investigated. All reutericyclins inhibited the growth of clinical isolates of drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Unlike the standard topical agent mupirocin, most reutericyclin derivatives eradicated staphylococcal biofilms. Moreover, two compounds formulated in hydrophilic petrolatum (10%, wt/wt) were efficacious in treating S. aureus superficial skin infections in mice. These data exemplify the prospect of developing reutericyclins as new topical antibiotics.

Compound 29a showed preeminent inhibition of MIC 0.006 mg/L against Mtb UT30 (streptomycin resistant at 4 mg/L).…”

There has been considerable interest in the development of new molecule with antibacterial activities particularly against tuberclosis because mycobacterium species have developed resistant against currently used drugs, their toxic effect and long duration of therapy. The diazine (pyridazine, pyrimidine and piperazine) derivatives possess an important class of compound for new drugs research and development. Therefore, many researchers have synthesized these compounds as target structures and evaluated their antitubercular activity. These observations have been guiding for the development of new molecules that possess potent antitubercular activity with minimum side effects or effective against MDR, XDR mycobacterium strains, and also in patient co-infected with HIV/AIDS.
