Abstract
Metallo-β-lactamases (MBL) deactivate β-lactam antibiotics through a catalytic reaction caused by two zinc ions at the active center. Since MBLs deteriorate a wide range of antibiotics, they are dangerous factors for bacterial multidrug resistance. In this work, organic synthesis, computational design, and crystal structure analysis were performed to obtain potent MBL inhibitors based on a previously identified hit compound. The hit compound comprised 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone linked with a phenyl-ether-methyl group via a thiazole ring. In the first step, the thiazole ring was replaced with a tertiary amine to avoid the planar structure. In the second step, we virtually modified the compound by keeping the quinolinone backbone. Every modified compound was bound to a kind of MBL, imipenemase-1 (IMP-1), and the binding pose was optimized by a molecular mechanics calculation. The binding scores were evaluated for the respective optimized binding poses. Given the predicted binding poses and calculated binding scores, candidate compounds were determined for organic syntheses. The inhibitory activities of the synthesized compounds were measured by an in vitro assay for two kinds of MBLs, IMP-1 and New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1). A quinolinone connected with an amine bound with methyl-phenyl-ether-propyl and cyclohexyl-ethyl showed a 50% inhibitory concentration of 4.8 μM. An X-ray crystal analysis clarified the binding structure of a synthesized compound to IMP-1. The δ-lactam ring of quinolinone was hydrolyzed, and the generated carboxyl group was coordinated with zinc ions. The findings on the chemical structure and binding pose are expected to be a base for developing MBL inhibitors.

A stable immature lattice packages IP 6 for HIV capsid maturation. SCIENCE ADVANCES 2021; 7:7/11/eabe4716.

Abstract
HIV virion assembly begins with the construction of an immature lattice consisting of Gag hexamers. Upon virion release, protease-mediated Gag cleavage leads to a maturation event in which the immature lattice disassembles and the mature capsid assembles. The cellular metabolite inositiol hexakisphosphate (IP6) and maturation inhibitors (MIs) both bind and stabilize immature Gag hexamers, but whereas IP6 promotes virus maturation, MIs inhibit it. Here we show that HIV is evolutionarily constrained to maintain an immature lattice stability that ensures IP6 packaging without preventing maturation. Replication-deficient mutant viruses with reduced IP6 recruitment display increased infectivity upon treatment with the MI PF46396 (PF96) or the acquisition of second-site compensatory mutations. Both PF96 and second-site mutations stabilise the immature lattice and restore IP6 incorporation, suggesting that immature lattice stability and IP6 binding are interdependent. This IP6 dependence suggests that modifying MIs to compete with IP6 for Gag hexamer binding could substantially improve MI antiviral potency.
