Targeting Bacterial Nitric Oxide Synthase with Aminoquinoline-Based Inhibitors

Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) is produced in Gram-positive pathogens Bacillus anthracis and Staphylococcus aureus by the bacterial isoform of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). Inhibition of bacterial nitric oxide synthase (bNOS) has been identified as a promising antibacterial strategy for targeting methicillin-resistant Staphylocoocus aureus1. One class of NOS inhibitors that demonstrates antimicrobial efficacy utilizes an aminoquinoline scaffold. Here we report on a variety of aminoquinolines that target the bacterial NOS ac… Show more

“…Considering antibacterial activity, especially against Pseudomonas aeruginosa , the decrease of the NOS2 protein level in HUVECs after SB exposure, it might be possible that the synthesis of NO by bacteria could also be reduced. One of the many proposed roles of NO in bacteria is to help protect the bacteria from host cell antibiotic-induced oxidative stress; therefore, the inhibition of bacterial nitric oxide synthase has been identified as a promising antibacterial strategy, especially for resistant bacteria [58].…”

“…As one of the unique structures of heterocyclic compounds, 2‐aminoquinolines have attracted much attention from both medicinal and chemical scientists Moreover, the compounds with 2‐aminoquinoline motif exist widely in numerous pharmaceuticals and biological natural products . The early studies disclosed that the Chichibabin reaction is the direct strategy for the preparation of 2‐aminoquinolines (Scheme a) .…”

“…Quinolines are an important synthons and ubiquitous motifs for the drug synthesis development and natural products (Cretton et al, 2016;Holden et al, 2016). Several efforts have been made in the past for an efficient, ecofriendly methods toward quinolines drug development (Batista et al, 2016;Zolfigol et al, 2006).…”
