Rational Design of Benzobisheterocycle Metallo-beta-Lactamase Inhibitors: A Tricyclic Scaffold Enhances Potency against Target Enzymes. J.Med.Chem., 67:3795-3812, 2024 Cited by PubMed Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health threat. Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) inactivate β-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems, are disseminating among Gram-negative bacteria, and lack clinically useful inhibitors. The evolving bisthiazolidine (BTZ) scaffold inhibits all three MBL subclasses (B1-B3). We report design, synthesis, and evaluation of BTZ analogues. Structure-activity relationships identified the BTZ thiol as essential, while carboxylate is replaceable, with its removal enhancing potency by facilitating hydrophobic interactions within the MBL active site. While the introduction of a flexible aromatic ring is neutral or detrimental for inhibition, a rigid (fused) ring generated nM benzobisheterocycle (BBH) inhibitors that potentiated carbapenems against MBL-producing strains. Crystallography of BBH:MBL complexes identified hydrophobic interactions as the basis of potency toward B1 MBLs. These data underscore BTZs as versatile, potent broad-spectrum MBL inhibitors (with activity extending to enzymes refractory to other inhibitors) and provide a rational approach to further improve the tricyclic BBH scaffold.
