Abstract
Imidazopyridine scaffold has gained tremendous importance over the past few decades. Imidazopyridines have been expeditiously used for the rationale design and development of novel synthetic analogs for various therapeutic disorders. A wide variety of imidazopyridine derivatives have been developed as potential anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-tubercular, anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, central nervous system (CNS) agents besides other chemotherapeutic agents. Imidazopyridine heterocyclic system acts as a key pharmacophore motif for the identification and optimization of lead structures to increase medicinal chemistry toolbox. The present review highlights the medicinal significances of imidazopyridines for their rationale development as lead molecules with improved therapeutic efficacies. This review further emphasis on the structure-activity relationships (SARs) of the various designed imidazopyridines to establish a relationship between the key structural features versus the biological activities.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
A series of cyano- and amidino-substituted imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines were synthesized using standard methods of organic synthesis, and their biological activity was evaluated. Biological evaluation included in vitro assessment of antiproliferative effects on a diverse selection of human cancer cell lines, antibacterial activity against chosen Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains, and antiviral activity on a broad panel of DNA and RNA viruses. The most pronounced antiproliferative activity was observed for compound 10, which contained an unsubstituted amidino group, and compound 14, which contained a 2-imidazolinyl amidino group; both displayed selective and strong activity in sub-micromolar inhibitory concentration range against colon carcinoma (IC50 0.4 and 0.7 μM, respectively). All tested compounds lacked antibacterial activity, with the exception of compound 14, which showed moderate activity against E. coli (MIC 32 μM). Bromo-substituted derivative 7, which contained an unsubstituted phenyl ring (EC50 21 μM), and para-cyano-substituted derivative 17 (EC50 58 μM) showed selective but moderate activity against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

Synthetic Imidazopyridine-Based Derivatives as Potential Inhibitors against Multi-Drug Resistant Bacterial Infections: A Review. Antibiotics (Basel) 2022; 11:antibiotics11121680. [PMID: 36551338 PMCID: PMC9774741 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics11121680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Fused pyridines are reported to display various pharmacological activities, such as antipyretic, analgesic, antiprotozoal, antibacterial, antitumor, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic. They are widely used in the field of medicinal chemistry. Imidazopyridines (IZPs) are crucial classes of fused heterocycles that are expansively reported on in the literature. Evidence suggests that IZPs, as fused scaffolds, possess more diverse profiles than individual imidazole and pyridine moieties. Bacterial infections and antibacterial resistance are ever-growing risks in the 21st century. Only one IZP, i.e., rifaximin, is available on the market as an antibiotic. In this review, the authors highlight strategies for preparing other IZPs. A particular focus is on the antibacterial profile and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of various synthesized IZP derivatives. This research provides a foundation for the tuning of available compounds to create novel, potent antibacterial agents with fewer side effects.

Abstract
Imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine derived acrylonitriles were synthesized and explored for their in vitro antiproliferative effect on a diverse human cancer cell line panel. Three compounds, 20, 21 and 33, showed strong activity in the submicromolar range (IC50 0.2-0.6 μM), and were chosen for further biological experiments. Immunofluorescence staining and tubulin polymerization assays confirmed tubulin as the main target, but excluded its colchicine-binding site as a potential interacting unit. This was supported by the computational analysis, which revealed that the most potent ligands act on the extended colchicine site on the surface between interacting tubulin subunits, where they interfere with their polymerization and reveal pronounced antitumor properties. In addition, lead molecule 21 potently inhibited cancer cell migration, while it did not affect the viability of normal cells even at the highest concentration tested (100 µM).

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA gyrase manipulates the DNA topology using controlled breakage and religation of DNA driven by ATP hydrolysis. DNA gyrase has been validated as the enzyme target of fluoroquinolones (FQs), second-line antibiotics used for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Mutations around the DNA gyrase DNA-binding site result in the emergence of FQ resistance in M. tuberculosis; inhibition of DNA gyrase ATPase activity is one strategy to overcome this. Here, virtual screening, subsequently validated by biological assays, was applied to select candidate inhibitors of the M. tuberculosis DNA gyrase ATPase activity from the Specs compound library (www.specs.net). Thirty compounds were identified and selected as hits for in vitro biological assays, of which two compounds, G24 and G26, inhibited the growth of M. tuberculosis H37Rv with a minimal inhibitory concentration of 12.5 μg/mL. The two compounds inhibited DNA gyrase ATPase activity with IC50 values of 2.69 and 2.46 μM, respectively, suggesting this to be the likely basis of their antitubercular activity. Models of complexes of compounds G24 and G26 bound to the M. tuberculosis DNA gyrase ATP-binding site, generated by molecular dynamics simulations followed by pharmacophore mapping analysis, showed hydrophobic interactions of inhibitor hydrophobic headgroups and electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions of the polar tails, which are likely to be important for their inhibition. Decreasing compound lipophilicity by increasing the polarity of these tails then presents a likely route to improving the solubility and activity. Thus, compounds G24 and G26 provide attractive starting templates for the optimization of antitubercular agents that act by targeting DNA gyrase.

Abstract
A novel series of tetracyclic imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives was designed and synthesized as potential antiproliferative agents. Their antiproliferative activity against human cancer cells was influenced by the introduction of chosen amino side chains on the different positions on the tetracyclic skeleton and particularly, by the position of N atom in the pyridine nuclei. Thus, the majority of compounds showed improved activity in comparison to standard drug etoposide. Several compounds showed pronounced cytostatic effect in the submicromolar range, especially on HCT116 and MCF-7 cancer cells. The obtained results have confirmed the significant impact of the position of N nitrogen in the pyridine ring on the enhancement of antiproliferative activity, especially for derivatives bearing amino side chains on position 2. Thus, regioisomers 6, 7 and 9 showed noticeable enhancement of activity in comparison to their counterparts 10, 11 and 13 with IC50 values in a nanomolar range of concentration (0.3-0.9 μM). Interactions with DNA (including G-quadruplex structure) and RNA were influenced by the position of amino side chains on the tetracyclic core of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives and the ligand charge. Moderate to high binding affinities (logKs = 5-7) obtained for selected imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives suggest that DNA/RNA are potential cell targets.

Abstract
ATP dependent ParE enzyme is as an attractive target for the development of antibacterial agents. Atom based 3D-QSAR model AADHR.187 was developed based on the thirty eight Escherichia coli ParE inhibitors. The generated model showed statistically significant coefficient of determinations for the training (R2 = 0.985) and test (R2 = 0.86) sets. The cross-validated correlation coefficient (q2) was 0.976. The utility of the generated model was validated by the enrichment study. The model was also validated with structurally diverse external test set of ten compounds. Contour plot analysis of the generated model unveiled the chemical features necessary for the E. coli ParE enzyme inhibition. Extra-precision docking result revealed that hydrogen bonding and ionic interactions play a major role in ParE protein-ligand binding. Binding free energy was computed for the data set inhibitors to validate the binding affinity. A 30-ns molecular dynamics simulation showed high stability and effective binding of inhibitor 34 within the active site of ParE enzyme. Using the best fitted model AADHR.187, pharmacophore-based high-throughput virtual screening was performed to identify virtual hits. Based on the above studies three new molecules are proposed as E. coli ParE inhibitors with high binding affinity and favourable ADME properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial resistance is found in all microorganisms and has become one of the biggest threats to global health. New antimicrobials with different action mechanisms are effective weapons to fight against antibiotic-resistance. OBJECTIVE This review aims to find potential drugs which can be further developed into clinic practice and provide clues for developing more effective antimicrobials. METHODS DNA replication universally exists in all living organisms and is a complicated process in which multiple enzymes are involved in. Enzymes in bacterial DNA replication of initiation and elongation phases bring abundant targets for antimicrobial development as they are conserved and indispensable. In this review, enzyme inhibitors of DNA helicase, DNA primase, topoisomerases, DNA polymerase and DNA ligase were discussed. Special attentions were paid to structures, activities and action modes of these enzyme inhibitors. RESULTS Among these enzymes, type II topoisomerase is the most validated target with abundant inhibitors. For type II topoisomerase inhibitors (excluding quinolones), NBTIs and benzimidazole urea derivatives are the most promising inhibitors because of their good antimicrobial activity and physicochemical properties. Simultaneously, DNA gyrase targeted drugs are particularly attractive in the treatment of tuberculosis as DNA gyrase is the sole type II topoisomerase in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Relatively, exploitation of antimicrobial inhibitors of the other DNA replication enzymes are primeval, in which inhibitors of topo III are even blank so far. CONCLUSION This review demonstrates that inhibitors of DNA replication enzymes are abundant, diverse and promising, many of which can be developed into antimicrobials to deal with antibioticresistance.

Abstract
An efficient and environmentally sustainable method for the synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives by domino A3-coupling reaction catalyzed by Cu(II)-ascorbate was developed in aqueous micellar media in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The catalyst, a dynamic combination of Cu(II)/Cu(I), was generated in situ in the reaction mixture by mixing CuSO4 with sodium ascorbate and aided a facile 5-exo-dig cycloisomerization of alkynes with the condensation products of 2-aminopyridines and aldehydes to afford a variety of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines in good overall yields. A simple experimental setup, water as the "green" medium, and inexpensive catalyst and auxiliary are some of the merits of this protocol.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is an air-borne disease, mostly affecting young adults in their productive years. Here, Ligand-based drug design approach yielded a series of 23 novel 6-(4-nitrophenoxy)-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine derivatives. The required building block of imidazopyridine was synthesized from commercially available 5,5-diaminopyridine-3-ol followed by four step sequence. Derivatives were prepared using various substituted aromatic aldehydes. All the synthesized analogues were characterized using NMR, Mass analysis and also screened for in vitro antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv). Four compounds, 5c (MIC-0.6 μmol/L); 5g (MIC-0.5 μmol/L); 5i (MIC-0.8 μmol/L); and 5u (MIC-0.7 μmol/L) were identified as potent analogues. Drug receptor interactions were studied with the help of ligand docking using maestro molecular modeling interphase, Schrodinger. Here, computational studies showed promising interaction with other residues with good score, which is novel finding than previously reported. So, these compounds may exhibit in vivo DprE1 inhibitory activity.

Abstract
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1.7 million deaths per year are caused by tuberculosis infections. Furthermore, it has been predicted that, by 2050, antibacterial resistance will be the cause of approximately 10 million deaths annually if the issue is not tackled. As a result, novel approaches to treating broad-spectrum bacterial infections are of vital importance. During the course of our wider efforts to discover unique methods of targeting multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, we identified a novel series of amide-linked pyrimido[4,5-b]indol-8-amine inhibitors of bacterial type II topoisomerases. Compounds from the series were highly potent against gram-positive bacteria and mycobacteria, with excellent potency being retained against a panel of relevant Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug-resistant clinical isolates.

Abstract
DNA gyrase subunit B (GyrB) is an attractive drug target for the development of antibacterial agents with therapeutic potential. In the present study, computational studies based on pharmacophore modelling, atom-based QSAR, molecular docking, free binding energy calculation and dynamics simulation were performed on a series of pyridine-3-carboxamide-6-yl-urea derivatives. A pharmacophore model using 49 molecules revealed structural and chemical features necessary for these molecules to inhibit GyrB. The best fitted model AADDR.13 was generated with a coefficient of determination (r²) of 0.918. This model was validated using test set molecules and had a good r² of 0.78. 3D contour maps generated by the 3D atom-based QSAR revealed the key structural features responsible for the GyrB inhibitory activity. Extra precision molecular docking showed hydrogen bond interactions with key amino acid residues of ATP-binding pocket, important for inhibitor binding. Further, binding free energy was calculated by the MM-GBSA rescoring approach to validate the binding affinity. A 10 ns MD simulation of inhibitor #47 showed the stability of the predicted binding conformations. We identified 10 virtual hits by in silico high-throughput screening. A few new molecules were also designed as potent GyrB inhibitors. The information obtained from these methodologies may be helpful to design novel inhibitors of GyrB.

Abstract
Following the withdrawal of novobiocin, the introduction of a new ATPase inhibitor of DNA gyrase to the clinic would add the first representative of this mechanistic class to the antibacterial pipeline. This would be of great importance because of the well-known problems associated with antibacterial resistance. Using structure-based design and starting from the recently determined crystal structure of the N-phenyl-4,5-dibromopyrrolamide inhibitor-DNA gyrase B complex, we have prepared 28 new N-phenyl-4,5-dibromopyrrolamides and N-phenylindolamides and evaluated them against DNA gyrase from Escherichia coli. The most potent compound was 2-((4-(4,5-dibromo-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamido)phenyl)amino)-2-oxoacetic acid (9a), with an IC50 of 0.18 μM against E. coli gyrase. A selected set of compounds was evaluated against DNA gyrase from Staphylococcus aureus and against topoisomerase IV from E. coli and S. aureus, but the activities were weaker. The binding affinity of 2-((4-(4,5-dibromo-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamido)phenyl)amino)-2-oxoacetic acid (9a) to E. coli gyrase was studied using surface plasmon resonance. In the design of the present series, the focus was on the optimisation of biological activities of compounds - especially by varying their size, the position and orientation of key functional groups, and their acid-base properties. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) was examined and the results were rationalised with molecular docking.

Abstract
GyrB and ParE are type IIA topoisomerases and found in most bacteria. Its function is vital for DNA replication, repair and decatenation. The highly conserved ATP-binding subunits of DNA GyrB and ParE are structurally related and have been recognized as prime candidates for the development of dual-targeting antibacterial agents with broad-spectrum potential. However, no natural product or small molecule inhibitors targeting ATPase catalytic domain of both GyrB and ParE enzymes have succeeded in the clinic. Moreover, no inhibitors of these enzymes with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against Gram-negative pathogens have been reported. Availability of high resolution crystal structures of GyrB and ParE made it possible for the design of many different classes of inhibitors with dual mechanism of action. Among them benzimidazoles, benzothiazoles, thiazolopyridines, imidiazopyridazoles, pyridines, indazoles, pyrazoles, imidazopyridines, triazolopyridines, pyrrolopyrimidines, pyrimidoindoles as well as related structures are disclosed in literatures. Unfortunately most of these inhibitors are found to be active against Gram-positive pathogens. In the present review we discuss about studies on novel dual targeting ATPase inhibitors.

Abstract
Bacterial DNA gyrase is a well-known and validated target in the design of antibacterial drugs. However, inhibitors of its ATP binding subunit, DNA gyrase B (GyrB), have so far not reached clinical use. In the present study, three different series of N-phenyl-4,5-dibromopyrrolamides and N-phenylindolamides were designed and prepared as potential DNA gyrase B inhibitors. The IC50 values of compounds on DNA gyrase from Escherichia coli were in the low micromolar range, with the best compound, (4-(4,5-dibromo-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamido)benzoyl)glycine (18a), displaying an IC50 of 450 nM. For this compound, a high-resolution crystal structure in complex with E. coli DNA gyrase B was obtained, revealing details of its binding mode within the active site. The binding affinities of three compounds with GyrB were additionally evaluated by surface plasmon resonance, and the results were in good agreement with the determined enzymatic activities. For the most promising compounds, the inhibitory activities against DNA gyrase from Staphylococcus aureus and topoisomerases IV from E. coli and S. aureus were determined. Antibacterial activities of the most potent compounds of each series were evaluated against two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacterial strains. The results obtained in this study provide valuable information on the binding mode and structure-activity relationship of N-phenyl-4,5-dibromopyrrolamides and N-phenylindolamides as promising classes of ATP competitive GyrB inhibitors.

Abstract
Bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV are essential enzymes that control the topological state of DNA during replication and validated antibacterial drug targets. Starting from a library of marine alkaloid oroidin analogues, we identified low micromolar inhibitors of Escherichia coli DNA gyrase based on the 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline and 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[1,2-d]thiazole scaffolds. Structure-based optimization of the initial hits resulted in low nanomolar E. coli DNA gyrase inhibitors, some of which exhibited micromolar inhibition of E. coli topoisomerase IV and of Staphylococcus aureus homologues. Some of the compounds possessed modest antibacterial activity against Gram positive bacterial strains, while their evaluation against wild-type, impA and ΔtolC E. coli strains suggests that they are efflux pump substrates and/or do not possess the physicochemical properties necessary for cell wall penetration. Our study provides a rationale for optimization of this class of compounds toward balanced dual DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV inhibitors with antibacterial activity.

Abstract
The introduction into clinical practice of an ATPase inhibitor of bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV (topo IV) would represent a new-class agent for the treatment of resistant bacterial infections. Novobiocin, the only historical member of this class, established the clinical proof of concept for this novel mechanism during the late 1950s, but its use declined rapidly and it was eventually withdrawn from the market. Despite significant and prolonged effort across the biopharmaceutical industry to develop other agents of this class, novobiocin remains the only ATPase inhibitor of gyrase and topo IV ever to progress beyond Phase I. In this review, we analyze the historical attempts to discover and develop agents within this class and highlight factors that might have hindered those efforts. Within the last 15 years, however, our technical understanding of the molecular details of the inhibition of the gyrase and topo IV ATPases, the factors governing resistance development to such inhibitors, and our knowledge of the physical properties required for robust clinical drug candidates have all matured to the point wherein the industry may now address this mechanism of action with greater confidence. The antibacterial spectrum within this class has recently been extended to begin to include serious Gram negative pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. In spite of this recent technical progress, adverse economics associated with antibacterial R&D over the last 20 years has diminished industry's ability to commit the resources and perseverance needed to bring new-class agents to launch. Consequently, a number of recent efforts in the ATPase class have been derailed by organizational rather than scientific factors. Nevertheless, within this context we discuss the unique opportunity for the development of ATPase inhibitors of gyrase and topo IV as new-class antibacterial agents with broad spectrum potential.

Abstract
Compound 3 is a potent aminobenzimidazole urea with broad-spectrum Gram-positive antibacterial activity resulting from dual inhibition of bacterial gyrase (GyrB) and topoisomerase IV (ParE), and it demonstrates efficacy in rodent models of bacterial infection. Preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies showed that compound 3 covalently labels liver proteins, presumably via formation of a reactive metabolite, and hence presented a potential safety liability. The urea moiety in compound 3 was identified as being potentially responsible for reactive metabolite formation, but its replacement resulted in loss of antibacterial activity and/or oral exposure due to poor physicochemical parameters. To identify second-generation aminobenzimidazole ureas devoid of reactive metabolite formation potential, we implemented a metabolic shift strategy, which focused on shifting metabolism away from the urea moiety by introducing metabolic soft spots elsewhere in the molecule. Aminobenzimidazole urea 34, identified through this strategy, exhibits similar antibacterial activity as that of 3 and did not label liver proteins in vivo, indicating reduced/no potential for reactive metabolite formation.

Abstract
AZD5099 (compound 63) is an antibacterial agent that entered phase 1 clinical trials targeting infections caused by Gram-positive and fastidious Gram-negative bacteria. It was derived from previously reported pyrrolamide antibacterials and a fragment-based approach targeting the ATP binding site of bacterial type II topoisomerases. The program described herein varied a 3-piperidine substituent and incorporated 4-thiazole substituents that form a seven-membered ring intramolecular hydrogen bond with a 5-position carboxylic acid. Improved antibacterial activity and lower in vivo clearances were achieved. The lower clearances were attributed, in part, to reduced recognition by the multidrug resistant transporter Mrp2. Compound 63 showed notable efficacy in a mouse neutropenic Staphylococcus aureus infection model. Resistance frequency versus the drug was low, and reports of clinical resistance due to alteration of the target are few. Hence, 63 could offer a novel treatment for serious issues of resistance to currently used antibacterials.

Abstract
Scaffold hopping from the thiazolopyridine ureas led to thiazolopyridone ureas with potent antitubercular activity acting through inhibition of DNA GyrB ATPase activity. Structural diversity was introduced, by extension of substituents from the thiazolopyridone N-4 position, to access hydrophobic interactions in the ribose pocket of the ATP binding region of GyrB. Further optimization of hydrogen bond interactions with arginines in site-2 of GyrB active site pocket led to potent inhibition of the enzyme (IC50 2 nM) along with potent cellular activity (MIC=0.1 μM) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Efficacy was demonstrated in an acute mouse model of tuberculosis on oral administration.

Abstract
The discovery and optimization of a new class of bacterial topoisomerase (DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV) inhibitors binding in the ATP domain are described. A fragment molecule, 1-ethyl-3-(2-pyridyl)urea, provided sufficiently potent enzyme inhibition (32 μM) to prompt further analogue work. Acids and acid isosteres were incorporated at the 5-pyridyl position of this fragment, bridging to a key asparagine residue, improving enzyme inhibition, and leading to measurable antibacterial activity. A CF3-thiazole substituent at the 4-pyridyl position improved inhibitory potency due to a favorable lipophilic interaction. Promising antibacterial activity was seen versus the Gram-positive pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae and the Gram-negative pathogens Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis . Precursor metabolite incorporation and mutant analysis studies support the mode-of-action, blockage of DNA synthesis by dual target topoisomerase inhibition. Compound 35 was efficacious in a mouse S. aureus disease model, where a 4.5-log reduction in colony forming units versus control was demonstrated.

Abstract
The type II topoisomerases DNA gyrase (GyrA/GyrB) and topoisomerase IV (ParC/ParE) are well-validated targets for antibacterial drug discovery. Because of their structural and functional homology, these enzymes are amenable to dual targeting by a single ligand. In this study, two novel benzothiazole ethyl urea-based small molecules, designated compound A and compound B, were evaluated for their biochemical, antibacterial, and pharmacokinetic properties. The two compounds inhibited the ATPase activity of GyrB and ParE with 50% inhibitory concentrations of <0.1 μg/ml. Prevention of DNA supercoiling by DNA gyrase was also observed. Both compounds potently inhibited the growth of a range of bacterial organisms, including staphylococci, streptococci, enterococci, Clostridium difficile, and selected Gram-negative respiratory pathogens. MIC90s against clinical isolates ranged from 0.015 μg/ml for Streptococcus pneumoniae to 0.25 μg/ml for Staphylococcus aureus. No cross-resistance with common drug resistance phenotypes was observed. In addition, no synergistic or antagonistic interactions between compound A or compound B and other antibiotics, including the topoisomerase inhibitors novobiocin and levofloxacin, were detected in checkerboard experiments. The frequencies of spontaneous resistance for S. aureus were <2.3 × 10(-10) with compound A and <5.8 × 10(-11) with compound B at concentrations equivalent to 8× the MICs. These values indicate a multitargeting mechanism of action. The pharmacokinetic properties of both compounds were profiled in rats. Following intravenous administration, compound B showed approximately 3-fold improvement over compound A in terms of both clearance and the area under the concentration-time curve. The measured oral bioavailability of compound B was 47.7%.

Abstract
Bacterial DNA gyrase is a well-established and validated target for the development of novel antibacterials. Starting from the available structural information about the binding of the natural product inhibitor, clorobiocin, we identified a novel series of 4'-methyl-N(2)-phenyl-[4,5'-bithiazole]-2,2'-diamine inhibitors of gyrase B with a low micromolar inhibitory activity by implementing a two-step structure-based design procedure. This novel class of DNA gyrase inhibitors was extensively investigated by various techniques (differential scanning fluorimetry, surface plasmon resonance, and microscale thermophoresis). The binding mode of the potent inhibitor 18 was revealed by X-ray crystallography, confirming our initial in silico binding model. Furthermore, the high resolution of the complex structure allowed for the placement of the Gly97-Ser108 flexible loop, thus revealing its role in binding of this class of compounds. The crystal structure of the complex protein G24 and inhibitor 18 provides valuable information for further optimization of this novel class of DNA gyrase B inhibitors.

Abstract
A high-throughput screening campaign using a prefractionated natural product library and an in vitro Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO200 strain) assay identified two antibacterial fractions derived from the marine sponge Suberea ianthelliformis. Mass-directed isolation of the CH(2)Cl(2)/CH(3)OH extract from S. ianthelliformis resulted in the purification of three new bromotyrosine-derived metabolites, ianthelliformisamines A-C (1-3), together with the known natural products aplysamine 1 (4) and araplysillin I (5). The structures of 1-3 were determined following analysis of 1D and 2D NMR and MS spectroscopic data. This is the first report of chemistry from the marine sponge S. ianthelliformis. Ianthelliformisamine A (1) showed inhibitory activity against the Gram-negative bacterium P. aeruginosa with an IC(50) value of 6.8 μM (MIC = 35 μM).

Abstract
The discovery of new antibacterials to combat the emergence of resistant organisms is of global importance. One strategy to reduce the development of resistance in new drugs is to identify a single pharmacophore that has the ability to target more than one essential bacterial enzyme. This opportunity has already been realised with certain drugs from the quinolone/fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics, and these drugs act via the GyrA and ParC subunits on the bacterial type II topoisomerases DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. This class of enzymes also presents a second opportunity for single pharmacophore multi-target inhibitors as they contain similarly conserved binding sites on the GyrB and ParE subunits which are responsible for the hydrolysis of ATP, a critical step in these enzymes’ function. Competitive inhibitors of ATP have been shown to inhibit both GyrB and ParE and to reduce spontaneous resistance in vitro which is indicative of dual-target action. This chapter will focus on one chemical class of dual-targeting DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV inhibitors, the ethyl ureas, and will present some of the preclinical data supporting their mechanism of action as a novel series of antibacterials.
