Abstract
Lpd (lipoamide dehydrogenase) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is required for virulence and is a genetically validated tuberculosis (TB) target. Numerous screens have been performed over the last decade, yet only two inhibitor series have been identified. Recent advances in large-scale virtual screening methods combined with make-on-demand compound libraries have shown the potential for finding novel hits. In this study, the Enamine REAL library consisting of ∼1.12 billion compounds was efficiently screened using the GPU Shape screen method against Mtb Lpd to find additional chemical matter that would expand on the known sulfonamide inhibitor series. We identified six new inhibitors with IC50 in the range of 5–100 μM. While these compounds remained chemically close to the already known sulfonamide series inhibitors, some diversity was found in the cores of the hits. The two most potent hits were further validated by one-step potency optimization to submicromolar levels. The co-crystal structure of optimized analogue TDI-13537 provided new insights into the potency determinants of the series.
期刊介绍:
ACS Bio & Med Chem Au is a broad scope open access journal which publishes short letters comprehensive articles reviews and perspectives in all aspects of biological and medicinal chemistry. Studies providing fundamental insights or describing novel syntheses as well as clinical or other applications-based work are welcomed.This broad scope includes experimental and theoretical studies on the chemical physical mechanistic and/or structural basis of biological or cell function in all domains of life. It encompasses the fields of chemical biology synthetic biology disease biology cell biology agriculture and food natural products research nucleic acid biology neuroscience structural biology and biophysics.The journal publishes studies that pertain to a broad range of medicinal chemistry including compound design and optimization biological evaluation molecular mechanistic understanding of drug delivery and drug delivery systems imaging agents and pharmacology and translational science of both small and large bioactive molecules. Novel computational cheminformatics and structural studies for the identification (or structure-activity relationship analysis) of bioactive molecules ligands and their targets are also welcome. The journal will consider computational studies applying established computational methods but only in combination with novel and original experimental data (e.g. in cases where new compounds have been designed and tested).Also included in the scope of the journal are articles relating to infectious diseases research on pathogens host-pathogen interactions therapeutics diagnostics vaccines drug-delivery systems and other biomedical technology development pertaining to infectious diseases.
