    Abstract The global spread of microbial resistance coupled with high costs and slow pace in the discovery of a new antibiotic have made drug repositioning an attractive and promising alternative in the treatment of infections caused by multidrug resistant (MDR) microorganisms. The reuse involves the production of compounds with lower costs and development time, using diversified production technologies. The present systematic review aimed to present a selection of studies published in the last 20 years, which report the antimicrobial activity of non-antibiotic drugs that are candidates for repositioning, which could be used against the current microbial multidrug resistance. A search was performed in the PubMed, SciELO and Google Scholar databases using the following search strategies: [(drug repurposing) OR (drug repositioning) OR (repositioning) AND (non-antibiotic) AND (antibacterial activity) AND (antimicrobial activity)]. Overall, 112 articles were included, which explored the antimicrobial activity in antidepressants, antihypertensives, anti-inflammatories, antineoplastics, hypoglycemic agents, among other drugs. It was concluded that they have significant antimicrobial activity in vitro and in vivo, against standard strain and clinical isolates (Gram-negative and Gram-positive) and fungi. When associated with antibacterials, most of these drugs had their antibacterial activity enhanced. It was also a consensus of the studies included in this review that the presence of aromatic rings in the molecular structure contributes to antimicrobial activity. This review highlights the potential repositioning of several classes of non-antibiotic drugs as promising candidates for repositioning in the treatment of severe bacterial infections of MDR bacteria, extensively resistant (XDR) and pan-resistant (PDR) to drugs.

    Abstract Infectious diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Combating them becomes more complex when caused by the pathogens of the ESKAPE group, which are Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter spp. The purpose of this study was to investigate the repositioning potential of the benzodiazepines clonazepam and diazepam individually and in combination with the antibacterial ciprofloxacin against ESKAPE. The minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration against seven American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) reference standard strains and 64 ESKAPE clinical isolates were determined. In addition, the interaction with ciprofloxacin was determined by the checkerboard method and fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) of clonazepam against 11 ESKAPE and diazepam against five ESKAPE. We also list the results found and their clinical significance. Benzodiazepines showed similar antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative. The checkerboard and FICI results showed a synergistic effect of these drugs when associated with ciprofloxacin against almost all tested isolates. Viewing the clinical cases studied, benzodiazepines have potential as treatment alternatives. The results allow us to conclude that clonazepam and diazepam, when in combination with ciprofloxacin, have promising activity against ESKAPE, therefore, assuming the position of candidates for repositioning.

    Abstract The repositioning of drugs has been shown to be an advantageous alternative for treating diseases caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms. The study aimed to investigate the in vitro antibacterial activity of the antidepressants fluoxetine and paroxetine alone and in combination with the antibacterial ciprofloxacin against standard strains and clinical isolates to explore the repositioning of these drugs in severe bacterial infections. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), tolerance level, fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) and interaction of antidepressants with the ciprofloxacin antibiotic were determined using the Checkerboard method against six American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) standard strains and seventy MDR clinical isolates. Both antidepressants showed better antibacterial activity than ciprofloxacin, in addition to being separately bactericidal against all tested Gram-negative and Gram-positive strains. When associated with ciprofloxacin, fluoxetine and paroxetine exhibited significant synergism compared to seventy ciprofloxacin-resistant clinical isolates, demonstrating that these antidepressants were able to increase the antibacterial activity of the antibiotic by eight times. The combination of antidepressants with ciprofloxacin showed relatively better activity against Acinetobacter baumannii, Enterococcus faecium and Klebsiella pneumoniae, strains in which the FICI value obtained was 0.008. The MDR isolates tested in this study ratify the antibacterial properties of the non-antibiotic fluoxetine and paroxetine. In addition, synergism when associated with ciprofloxacin is an alternative for treating serious infections in hospitalized patients. However, additional in vivo studies must be conducted to elucidate the mechanisms of action of these drugs.
