Discovery of Bacterial Fatty Acid Synthase Type II Inhibitors Using a Novel Cellular Bioluminescent Reporter Assay

Abstract: bNovel, cellular, gain-of-signal, bioluminescent reporter assays for fatty acid synthesis type II (FASII) inhibitors were constructed in an efflux-deficient strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and based on the discovery that FASII genes in P. aeruginosa are coordinately upregulated in response to pathway disruption. A screen of 115,000 compounds identified a series of sulfonamidobenzamide (SABA) analogs, which generated strong luminescent signals in two FASII reporter strains but not in four control reporter stra… Show more

“…[6][7][8][9][10][11] The first committed step in this pathway is catalyzed by an essential cytoplasmic acetyl-CoA carboxylase multienzyme complex 12 (see also Supporting Information Text S1), and inhibitors of the BC active site of this complex have shown antibacterial activity against several Gram-negative species. 5,[13][14][15][16][17] The BC active site is highly conserved across a number of bacterial pathogens, including P. aeruginosa, E. coli, and H. influenzae. 18 While 1 lacks the potency to become a therapeutic agent, it is a promising starting point for medicinal chemistry efforts because of its selective on-target activity, low molecular weight, and available co-crystal structures with BC that enable structure-based molecular design.…”

“…In 2015 a group from Microbiotix, Inc. developed an in vivo high-throughput screen capable of identifying FASII inhibitors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli 28 . That screen identified five compounds that selectively inhibit FASII 28 . Two of those compounds share a sulfonamidobenzamide (SABA) core structure 28 .…”
