    Abstract Previously, structure-based drug design was used to develop substituted diphenyl ethers with potency against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) enoyl-ACP reductase (InhA), however, the highly lipophilic centroid compound, SB-PT004, lacked sufficient efficacy in the acute murine Mtb infection model. A next generation series of compounds were designed with improved specificity, potency against InhA, and reduced cytotoxicity in vitro, but these compounds also had limited solubility. Accordingly, solubility and pharmacokinetics studies were performed to develop formulations for this class and other experimental drug candidates with high logP values often encountered in drug discovery. Lead diphenyl ethers were formulated in co-solvent and Self-Dispersing Lipid Formulations (SDLFs) and evaluated in a rapid murine Mtb infection model that assesses dissemination to and bacterial burden in the spleen. In vitro synergy studies were performed with the lead diphenyl ether compounds, SB-PT070 and SB-PT091, and rifampin (RIF), which demonstrated an additive effect, and that guided the in vivo studies. Combinatorial therapy in vivo studies with these compounds delivered in our Self-Micro Emulsifying Drug Delivery System (SMEDDS) resulted in an additional 1.4 log

    Abstract Chemical modification is a prerequisite of oligonucleotide therapeutics for improved metabolic stability, uptake and activity, irrespective of their mode of action, i.e. antisense, RNAi or aptamer. Phosphate moiety and ribose C2'/O2' atoms are the most common sites for modification. Compared to 2'-O-substituents, ribose 4'-C-substituents lie in proximity of both the 3'- and 5'-adjacent phosphates. To investigate potentially beneficial effects on nuclease resistance we combined 2'-F and 2'-OMe with 4'-Cα- and 4'-Cβ-OMe, and 2'-F with 4'-Cα-methyl modification. The α- and β-epimers of 4'-C-OMe-uridine and the α-epimer of 4'-C-Me-uridine monomers were synthesized and incorporated into siRNAs. The 4'α-epimers affect thermal stability only minimally and show increased nuclease stability irrespective of the 2'-substituent (H, F, OMe). The 4'β-epimers are strongly destabilizing, but afford complete resistance against an exonuclease with the phosphate or phosphorothioate backbones. Crystal structures of RNA octamers containing 2'-F,4'-Cα-OMe-U, 2'-F,4'-Cβ-OMe-U, 2'-OMe,4'-Cα-OMe-U, 2'-OMe,4'-Cβ-OMe-U or 2'-F,4'-Cα-Me-U help rationalize these observations and point to steric and electrostatic origins of the unprecedented nuclease resistance seen with the chain-inverted 4'β-U epimer. We used structural models of human Argonaute 2 in complex with guide siRNA featuring 2'-F,4'-Cα-OMe-U or 2'-F,4'-Cβ-OMe-U at various sites in the seed region to interpret in vitro activities of siRNAs with the corresponding 2'-/4'-C-modifications.

    Abstract Francisella tularensis is classified as a category A priority pathogen and causes fatal disseminated disease in humans upon inhalation of less than 50 bacteria. Although drugs are available for treatment, they are not ideal because of toxicity and route of delivery, and in some cases patients relapse upon withdrawal. We have an ongoing program to develop novel FAS-II FabI enoyl-ACP reductase enzyme inhibitors for Francisella and other select agents. To establish F. tularensis FabI (FtFabI) as a clinically relevant drug target, we demonstrated that fatty acid biosynthesis and FabI activity are essential for growth even in the presence of exogenous long-chain lipids and that FtfabI is not transcriptionally altered in the presence of exogenous long-chain lipids. Inhibition of FtFabI or fatty acid synthesis results in loss of viability that is not rescued by exogenous long-chain lipid supplementation. Importantly, whole-genome transcriptional profiling of F. tularensis with DNA microarrays from infected tissues revealed that FtfabI and de novo fatty acid biosynthetic genes are transcriptionally active during infection. This is the first demonstration that the FabI enoyl-ACP-reductase enzyme encoded by F. tularensis is essential and not bypassed by exogenous fatty acids and that de novo fatty acid biosynthetic components encoded in F. tularensis are transcriptionally active during infection in the mouse model of tularemia.

    Abstract Slow-onset enzyme inhibitors are the subject of considerable interest as an approach to increasing the potency of pharmaceutical compounds by extending the residence time of the inhibitor on the target (the lifetime of the drug–receptor complex). However, rational modulation of residence time presents significant challenges because it requires additional mechanistic insight, such as the nature of the transition state for postbinding isomerization. Our previous work, based on X-ray crystallography, enzyme kinetics, and molecular dynamics simulation, suggested that the slow step in inhibition of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis enoyl-ACP reductase InhA involves a change in the conformation of the substrate binding loop from an open state in the initial enzyme–inhibitor complex to a closed state in the final enzyme–inhibitor complex. Here, we use multidimensional free energy landscapes for loop isomerization to obtain a computational model for the transition state. The results suggest that slow-onset inhibitors crowd key side chains on helices that slide past each other during isomerization, resulting in a steric clash. The landscapes become significantly flatter when residues involved in the steric clash are replaced with alanine. Importantly, this lower barrier can be increased by rational inhibitor redesign to restore the steric clash. Crystallographic studies and enzyme kinetics confirm the predicted effects on loop structure and flexibility, as well as inhibitor residence time. These loss and regain of function studies validate our mechanistic hypothesis for interactions controlling substrate binding loop isomerization, providing a platform for the future design of inhibitors with longer residence times and better in vivo potency. Similar opportunities for slow-onset inhibition via the same mechanism are identified in other pathogens.

    Abstract There is growing awareness of the link between drug-target residence time and in vivo drug activity, and there are increasing efforts to determine the molecular factors that control the lifetime of a drug-target complex. Rational alterations in the drug-target residence time require knowledge of both the ground and transition states on the inhibition reaction coordinate, and we have determined the structure-kinetic relationship for 22 ethyl- or hexyl-substituted diphenyl ethers that are slow-binding inhibitors of bpFabI1, the enoyl-ACP reductase FabI1 from Burkholderia pseudomallei. Analysis of enzyme inhibition using a two-dimensional kinetic map demonstrates that the ethyl and hexyl diphenyl ethers fall into two distinct clusters. Modifications to the ethyl diphenyl ether B ring result in changes to both on and off rates, where residence times of up to ∼700 min (∼11 h) are achieved by either ground state stabilization (PT444) or transition state destabilization (slower on rate) (PT404). By contrast, modifications to the hexyl diphenyl ether B ring result in residence times of 300 min (∼5 h) through changes in only ground state stabilization (PT119). Structural analysis of nine enzyme:inhibitor complexes reveals that the variation in structure-kinetic relationships can be rationalized by structural rearrangements of bpFabI1 and subtle changes to the orientation of the inhibitor in the binding pocket. Finally, we demonstrate that three compounds with residence times on bpFabI1 from 118 min (∼2 h) to 670 min (∼11 h) have in vivo efficacy in an acute B. pseudomallei murine infection model using the virulent B. pseudomallei strain Bp400.

    Abstract Thiolactomycin (TLM) is a natural product inhibitor of KasA, the β-ketoacyl synthase A from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. To improve the affinity of TLM for KasA, a series of TLM analogs have been synthesized based on interligand NOEs between TLM and a pantetheine analog when both are bound simultaneously to the enzyme. Kinetic binding data reveal that position 3 of the thiolactone ring is a suitable position for elaboration of the TLM scaffold, and the structure-activity relationship studies provide information on the molecular features that govern time-dependent inhibition in this enzyme system. These experiments also exemplify the utility of transient one-dimensional NOE spectroscopy for obtaining interligand NOEs compared with traditional steady state two-dimensional NOESY spectroscopy.

    Abstract The survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis depends on mycolic acids, very long α-alkyl-β-hydroxy fatty acids comprising 60-90 carbon atoms. However, despite considerable efforts, little is known about how enzymes involved in mycolic acid biosynthesis recognize and bind their hydrophobic fatty acyl substrates. The condensing enzyme KasA is pivotal for the synthesis of very long (C38-42) fatty acids, the precursors of mycolic acids. To probe the mechanism of substrate and inhibitor recognition by KasA, we determined the structure of this protein in complex with a mycobacterial phospholipid and with several thiolactomycin derivatives that were designed as substrate analogs. Our structures provide consecutive snapshots along the reaction coordinate for the enzyme-catalyzed reaction and support an induced fit mechanism in which a wide cavity is established through the concerted opening of three gatekeeping residues and several α-helices. The stepwise characterization of the binding process provides mechanistic insights into the induced fit recognition in this system and serves as an excellent foundation for the development of high affinity KasA inhibitors.

    Abstract β-Ketoacyl-ACP synthases (KAS) are key enzymes involved in the type II bacterial fatty acid biosynthesis (FASII) pathway and are putative targets for antibacterial discovery. Several natural product KAS inhibitors have previously been reported, including thiolactomycin (TLM), which is produced by Nocardia spp. Here we describe the synthesis and characterization of optically pure 5R-thiolactomycin (TLM) analogues that show improved whole cell activity against bacterial strains including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and priority pathogens such as Francisella tularensis and Burkholderia pseudomallei. In addition, we identify TLM analogues with in vivo efficacy against MRSA and Klebsiella pneumoniae in animal models of infection.

While the FabI ENR is a well-validated drug target in organisms such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Staphylococcus aureus, alternate ENR isoforms have been discovered in other pathogens, including the FabV enzyme that is the sole ENR in Yersinia pestis (ypFabV). Previously, we showed that the prototypical ENR inhibitor triclosan was a poor inhibitor of ypFabV and that inhibitors based on the 2-pyridone scaffold were more potent [Hirschbeck, M. (2012) Structure 20 (1), 89–100]. These studies were performed with the T276S FabV variant. In the work presented here, we describe a detailed examination of the mechanism and inhibition of wild-type ypFabV and the T276S variant. The T276S mutation significantly reduces the affinity of diphenyl ether inhibitors for ypFabV (20-fold → 100-fold). In addition, while T276S ypFabV generally displays an affinity for 2-pyridone inhibitors higher than that of the wild-type enzyme, the 4-pyridone scaffold yields compounds with similar affinity for both wild-type and T276S ypFabV. T276 is located at the N-terminus of the helical substrate-binding loop, and structural studies coupled with site-directed mutagenesis reveal that alterations in this residue modulate the size of the active site portal. Subsequently, we were able to probe the mechanism of time-dependent inhibition in this enzyme family by extending the inhibition studies to include P142W ypFabV, a mutation that results in a gain of slow-onset inhibition for the 4-pyridone PT156.
