New N -phenylpyrrolamide DNA gyrase B inhibitors: Optimization of efficacy and antibacterial activity

Abstract: The ATP binding site located on the subunit B of DNA gyrase is an attractive target for the development of new antibacterial agents. In recent decades, several small-molecule inhibitor classes have been discovered but none has so far reached the market. We present here the discovery of a promising new series of N-phenylpyrrolamides with low nanomolar IC values against DNA gyrase, and submicromolar IC values against topoisomerase IV from Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The most potent compound in th… Show more

“…Ala100 that is part of the flexible loop between amino acid residues Gly97-Ser108, as predicted by docking of compound 9d (IC50 = 6.9 nM) to the DNA gyrase B active site ( Figure 1S), and as reported by our research group for a related compound [15]. Interestingly, also some derivatives containing a combination of N-Boc-protected amino group and free carboxylic acid group on the right-hand side, e.g.…”

“…Design. Using our previous N-phenylpyrrolamide inhibitors as starting points [12][13][14][15], and having at disposal the crystal structure of E. coli GyrB in complex with one of our inhibitors (PDB code: 4ZVI) [12], optimised N-phenylpyrrolamides were prepared with improved on-target and antibacterial activities. The three structural types of compounds (types I-III, Figure 2) possess modifications on the central part and right-hand sides of the molecules.…”

“…Furanoquinones exhibit a specific toxicity against MRSA with limited impact on humans. The dual inhibition of both enzymes further delays the occurrence of bacterial resistance because the simultaneous mutation on two targets is very low (Durcik et al, 2018). Topical administration of anti-MRSA agents for treating cutaneous infection have the advantages over oral or systemic counterparts of avoiding side effects, lowering cost, and decreasing drug resistance (Mohammad et al, 2015).…”
