Design and synthesis of novel N-benzylidenesulfonohydrazide inhibitors of MurC and MurD as potential antibacterial agents.
A series of novel N-benzylidenesulfonohydrazide compounds were designed and synthesized as inhibitors of UDP-N-acetylmuramic acid: L-alanine ligase (MurC) and UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine: D-glutamate ligase (MurD) from E. coli, involved in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell-walls. Some compounds possessed inhibitory activity against both enzymes with IC(50) values as low as 30 microM. In add...
متن کاملDesign of new potent HTLV-1 protease inhibitors: in silico study
HTLV-1 and HIV-1 are two major causes for severe T-cell leukemia disease and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). HTLV-1 protease, a member of aspartic acid protease family, plays important roles in maturation during virus replication cycle. The impairment of these proteases results in uninfectious HTLV-1virions.Similar to HIV-1protease deliberate mutations that confer drug resistance on...
متن کاملNovel bacterial NAD+-dependent DNA ligase inhibitors with broad-spectrum activity and antibacterial efficacy in vivo.
DNA ligases are indispensable enzymes playing a critical role in DNA replication, recombination, and repair in all living organisms. Bacterial NAD+-dependent DNA ligase (LigA) was evaluated for its potential as a broad-spectrum antibacterial target. A novel class of substituted adenosine analogs was discovered by target-based high-throughput screening (HTS), and these compounds were optimized t...
متن کاملMutant of Bacillus subtilis lacking exo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity.
A procedure for the isolation of exo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase mutants, by using a plate assay method incorporating a fluorescent substrate, has been developed. A mutant lacking exo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity has been isolated and shown to grow, divide, autolyze, and sporulate as well as the parental strain.
متن کاملVirtual screening and in silico design of novel inhibitors of bacterial lectins
Bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a human opportunistic pathogen. It can cause infection of immunocompromised people or people suffering from cystic fibrosis, which is often fatal. Bacterial colonization of human tissues is mediated by interaction of bacterial surface proteins – lectins – with cellular surface carbohydrates. PA-IIL is Pseudomonas aeruginosa tetrameric lectin, which contains t...
