Development of dual inhibitors targeting DprE1 and AHAS for treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

چکیده
Background The emerging multidrug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection is increasing with greater complexity, estimated 220000-400000 tuberculosis cases emerged in 2011 globally. A number of lead compounds have been developed for treatment of MDR and XDR TB, but no new chemical entity has emerged for clinical use. Recently DprE1 and AHAS have been identified as promising drug targets.

Virtual Screening of Small Molecular Inhibitors against DprE1.
Decaprenylphosphoryl-β-d-ribose oxidase (DprE1) is the flavoprotein subunit of decaprenylphosphoryl-d-ribose epimerase involved in cell wall synthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and catalyzes the conversion of decaprenylphosphoryl ribose to decaprenylphosphoryl arabinose. DprE1 is a potential target against tuberculosis, including multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. We identified potential Dpr...
متن کاملStructural basis of inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DprE1 by benzothiazinone inhibitors.
Resistance against currently used antitubercular therapeutics increasingly undermines efforts to contain the worldwide tuberculosis (TB) epidemic. Recently, benzothiazinone (BTZ) inhibitors have shown nanomolar potency against both drug-susceptible and multidrug-resistant strains of the tubercle bacillus. However, their proposed mode of action is lacking structural evidence. We report here the ...
متن کاملBenzothiazinethione is a potent preclinical candidate for the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis
New chemotherapeutic compounds are needed to combat multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which remains a serious public-health challenge. Decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribose 2'-epimerase (DprE1 enzyme) has been characterized as an attractive therapeutic target to address this urgent demand. Herein, we have identified a new class of DprE1 inhibitors benzothiazinethiones as antituber...
متن کاملDevelopment of 1,2,4-triazole-5-thione derivatives as potential inhibitors of enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase (InhA) in tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis (TB) ranks second, next to AIDS making it most formidable disease if the present age. One of the crucial enzymes involved in cell wall synthesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, InhA (enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase) has been authenticated as an effective target for anti-mycobacterial drug development. In the current work, we have developed novel derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole-5-...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) DprE1, an essential isomerase for the biosynthesis of the mycobacterial cell wall, is a validated target for tuberculosis (TB) drug development. Here we report the X-ray crystal structures of DprE1 and the DprE1 resistant mutant (Y314C) in complexes with TCA1 derivatives to elucidate the molecular basis of their inhibitory activities and an unconventional resist...
