    Abstract Animal models of human diseases are invaluable and inevitable elements in identifying and testing novel treatments for serious diseases, including severe infections. Planning and conducting investigator-initiated human trials are generally accepted as being enormously challenging. In contrast, it is often underestimated how much planning, including background and modifying experiments, is needed to establish a relevant infectious disease animal model. However, representative animal infectious models, well designed to test generated hypotheses, are useful to improve our understanding of pathogenesis, virulence factors and host response and to identify novel treatment candidates and therapeutic strategies. Such results can subsequently proceed to clinical testing if suitable. The present review aims at presenting all the pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa infectious models we have knowledge of and the detailed descriptions of established animal models in our laboratory focusing on macrolide therapy are presented.

    Abstract The G-protein coupled receptor 139 (GPR139) is expressed specifically in the brain in areas of relevance for motor control. GPR139 function and signal transduction pathways are elusive, and results in the literature are even contradictory. Here, we examined the potential neuroprotective effect of GPR139 agonism in primary culture models of dopaminergic (DA) neuronal degeneration. We find that in vitro GPR139 agonists protected primary mesencephalic DA neurons against 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP(+))-mediated degeneration. Protection was concentration-dependent and could be blocked by a GPR139 antagonist. However, the protection of DA neurons was not found against rotenone or 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) mediated degeneration. Our results support differential mechanisms of toxicity for those substances commonly used in Parkinson's disease (PD) models and potential for GPR139 agonists in neuroprotection.

    Abstract Traditional treatment of infectious diseases is based on compounds that aim to kill or inhibit bacterial growth. A major concern with this approach is the frequently observed development of resistance to antimicrobial compounds. The discovery of bacterial-communication systems (quorum-sensing systems), which orchestrate important temporal events during the infection process, has afforded a novel opportunity to ameliorate bacterial infection by means other than growth inhibition. Compounds able to override bacterial signaling are present in nature. Herein we discuss the known signaling mechanisms and potential antipathogenic drugs that specifically target quorum-sensing systems in a manner unlikely to pose a selective pressure for the development of resistant mutants.

    Abstract Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) has attracted considerable interest as a therapeutic target for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Compounds derived from a 2-aminopyridine screening hit were optimised using a LRRK2 homology model based on mixed lineage kinase 1 (MLK1), such that a 2-aminopyridine-based lead molecule 45, with in vivo activity, was identified.

    Abstract Our understanding of Parkinson's disease (PD) has been revolutionized by the discovery of disease-causing genetic mutations. The most common of these is the G2019S mutation in the LRRK2 kinase gene, which leads to increased kinase activity. However, the link between increased kinase activity and PD is unclear. Previously, we showed that dopaminergic expression of the human LRRK2-G2019S transgene in flies led to an activity-dependent loss of vision in older animals and we hypothesized that this may have been preceded by a failure to regulate neuronal activity correctly in younger animals. To test this hypothesis, we used a sensitive measure of visual function based on frequency-tagged steady-state visually evoked potentials. Spectral analysis allowed us to identify signals from multiple levels of the fly visual system and wild-type visual response curves were qualitatively similar to those from human cortex. Dopaminergic expression of hLRRK2-G2019S increased contrast sensitivity throughout the retinal network. To test whether this was due to increased kinase activity, we fed Drosophila with kinase inhibitors targeted at LRRK2. Contrast sensitivity in both day 1 and day 14 flies was normalized by a novel LRRK2 kinase inhibitor 'BMPPB-32'. Biochemical and cellular assays suggested that BMPPB-32 would be a more specific kinase inhibitor than LRRK2-IN-1. We confirmed this in vivo, finding that dLRRK(-) null flies show large off-target effects with LRRK2-IN-1 but not BMPPB-32. Our data link the increased Kinase activity of the G2019S-LRRK2 mutation to neuronal dysfunction and demonstrate the power of the Drosophila visual system in assaying the neurological effects of genetic diseases and therapies.

    Abstract Present-day treatment of chronic infections is based on compounds that aim to kill or inhibit growth of bacteria. Two problems are recognised to be intrinsically associated with this approach: (i) the frequently observed development of resistance to antimicrobial compounds; and (ii) the fact that all therapeutics are considerably less effective on bacteria growing as biofilms when compared with planktonic cells. The latter point is of particular importance as evidence has accumulated over the past few years that most chronic bacterial infections involve biofilms. The discovery of bacterial communication systems (quorum sensing systems) in Gram-negative bacteria which are believed to orchestrate important temporal events during the infectious process, including the production of virulence factors and the formation of biofilms, has afforded a novel opportunity to control the activity of infecting bacteria by other means than interfering with growth. Compounds that interfere with communication systems are present in nature. Such compounds should not only specifically attenuate the production of virulence factors but should also affect biofilm formation in a manner that is unlikely to pose a selective pressure for the development of resistant mutants.

    Abstract We describe the discovery of a series of compounds based on 1-{3-[4-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-benzoimidazol-1-yl)-piperidin-1-yl]-propyl}-3,4-dihydro-1H-quinolin-2-one (3), showing combined D(2) receptor affinity and M(1) receptor agonism. Based on a strategy of controlling logP, we herein describe a hit-to-lead investigation with the aim of retaining the combined D(2)/M(1) profile, while removing the propensity of the compounds to inhibit the hERG channel, as well as at obtaining acceptable pharmacokinetic properties. Although a SAR was evident for all four parameters in question, it was not possible to separate hERG channel inhibition and D(2) receptor affinity by this effort; whilst it was feasible to obtain compounds with M(1) receptor agonism, acceptable clearance, and weak hERG inhibition.
