Galactoside-Based Molecule Enhanced Antimicrobial Activity through Acyl Moiety Incorporation: Synthesis and In Silico Exploration for Therapeutic Target. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:998. [PMID: 37513910 PMCID: PMC10385442 DOI: 10.3390/ph16070998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, a series of galactoside-based molecules, compounds of methyl β-d-galactopyranoside (MDGP, 1), were selectively acylated using 2-bromobenzoyl chloride to obtain 6-O-(2-bromobenzoyl) substitution products, which were then transformed into 2,3,4-tri-O-6-(2-bromobenzoyl) compounds (2-7) with various nontraditional acyl substituents. The chemical structures of the synthesized analogs were characterized by spectroscopic methods and physicochemical and elemental data analyses. The antimicrobial activities of the compounds against five human pathogenic bacteria and two phyto-fungi were evaluated in vitro and it was found that the acyl moiety-induced synthesized analogs exhibited varying levels of antibacterial activity against different bacteria, with compounds 3 and 6 exhibiting broad-spectrum activity and compounds 2 and 5 exhibiting activity against specific bacteria. Compounds 3 and 6 were tested for MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) and MBC (minimum bactericidal concentration) based on their activity. The synthesized analogs were also found to have potential as a source of new antibacterial agents, particularly against gram-positive bacteria. The antifungal results suggested that the synthesized analogs could be a potential source of novel antifungal agents. Moreover, cytotoxicity testing revealed that the compounds are less toxic. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) investigation revealed that the lauroyl chain [CH3(CH2)10CO-] and the halo-aromatic chain [3(/4)-Cl.C6H4CO-] in combination with sugar, had the most potent activity against bacterial and fungal pathogens. Density functional theory (DFT)-calculated thermodynamic and physicochemical parameters, and molecular docking, showed that the synthesized molecule may block dengue virus 1 NS2B/NS3 protease (3L6P). A 150 ns molecular dynamic simulation indicated stable conformation and binding patterns in a stimulating environment. In silico ADMET calculations suggested that the designed (MDGP, 1) had good drug-likeness values. In summary, the newly synthesized MDGP analogs exhibit potential antiviral activity and could serve as a therapeutic target for dengue virus 1 NS2B/NS3 protease.

Abstract
The marked rise in bacterial drug resistance has created an urgent need for novel antibacterials belonging to new drug classes and ideally possessing new mechanisms of action. The superior biological activity of solithromycin against streptococci and other bacteria causative of community-acquired pneumonia pathogens, compared to telithromycin and other macrolides encouraged us to extensively explore this class of antibiotics. We, thus, present the design and synthesis of a novel series of solithromycin analogs. Three main strategies were pursued in structure-activity relationship studies covering the N-11 side chain and the desosamine motif, which are both chief elements for establishing strong interactions with the bacterial ribosome as the molecular target. Minimal inhibitory concentration assays were determined to assess the in vitro potency of the various analogs in relation to solithromycin. Two analogs exhibited improved activity compared to solithromycin against resistant strains, which can be assessed in further pre-clinical studies.

Structure of Erm-modified 70S ribosome reveals the mechanism of macrolide resistance. Nat Chem Biol 2021; 17:412-420. [PMID: 33462493 PMCID: PMC7990689 DOI: 10.1038/s41589-020-00715-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 63] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 10/22/2020] [Accepted: 11/18/2020] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
Many antibiotics inhibit bacterial growth by binding to the ribosome and interfering with protein biosynthesis. Macrolides represent one of the most successful classes of ribosome-targeting antibiotics. The main clinically relevant mechanism of resistance to macrolides is dimethylation of the 23S rRNA nucleotide A2058, located in the drug-binding site, a reaction catalyzed by Erm-type rRNA methyltransferases. Here, we present the crystal structure of the Erm-dimethylated 70S ribosome at 2.4 Å resolution, together with the structures of unmethylated 70S ribosome functional complexes alone or in combination with macrolides. Altogether, our structural data do not support previous models and, instead, suggest a principally new explanation of how A2058 dimethylation confers resistance to macrolides. Moreover, high-resolution structures of two macrolide antibiotics bound to the unmodified ribosome reveal a previously unknown role of the desosamine moiety in drug binding, laying a foundation for the rational knowledge-based design of macrolides that can overcome Erm-mediated resistance.

Abstract
The chemical modification of natural products has been a major method in the discovery and synthesis of new macrolide antibiotics (MA) to treat a variety of infectious diseases. However, a lot of MA obtained in the above methods are no longer effective, because the bacteria quickly develop their resistance to these new macrolides, which has become a great threat to successful treatment of infectious diseases, such as infections of the respiratory system and urinary system. In this paper, total synthetic methods for MA that include erythromycin A (ERY), azithromycin (AZM), the clinical candidate solithromycin (CEM-101), as well as 14-membered and 15-membered azaketolides have been systematically reviewed on the basis of the literature reported previously. The total synthetic methods we describe here helps to accelerate the discovery of newer MA to deal with the serious problem of bacterial resistance.

Abstract
A series of novel 5-O-(4',6'-O-dimodified)-mycaminose 14-membered ketolides were assessed for their in vitro antibacterial activities against a panel of sensitive and resistant pathogens. Compound 1 and compound 2, two ester analogs, showed the best antibacterial activities against several macrolide-sensitive and macrolide-resistant strains. These results indicated that introducing ester to 6-OH and a small volume ether substituent to the 4-OH of mycaminose could improve the antibacterial activities of ketolides.

Abstract
Many small molecule natural products with antibiotic and antiproliferative activity are adorned with a carbohydrate residue as part of their molecular structure. The carbohydrate moiety can act to mediate key interactions with the target, attenuate physicochemical properties, or both. Facile incorporation of a carbohydrate group on de novo small molecules would enable these valuable properties to be leveraged in the evaluation of focused compound libraries. While there is no universal way to incorporate a sugar on small molecule libraries, techniques such as glycorandomization and neoglycorandomization have made signification headway toward this goal. Here, we report a new approach for the synthesis of glycosylated small molecule libraries. It puts the glycosylation early in the synthesis of library compounds. Functionalized aglycones subsequently participate in chemoselective diversification reactions distal to the carbohydrate. As a proof-of-concept, we prepared several desosaminyl glycosides from only a few starting glycosides, using click cycloadditions, acylations, and Suzuki couplings as diversification reactions. New compounds were then characterized for their inhibition of bacterial protein translation, bacterial growth, and in a T-cell activation assay.

Abstract
Macrolides, especially 14-membered macrolides, are a valuable group of antibiotics that originate from various microorganisms. In addition to their antibacterial activity, newly discovered 14-membered macrolides exhibit other therapeutic potentials, such as anti-proliferative and anti-protistal activities. Combinatorial biosynthetic approaches will allow us to create structurally diversified macrolide analogs, which are especially important during the emerging post-antibiotic era. This review focuses on recent advances in the discovery of new 14-membered macrolides (also including macrolactones) from microorganisms and the current status of combinatorial biosynthetic approaches, including polyketide synthase (PKS) and post-PKS tailoring pathways, and metabolic engineering for improved production together with heterologous production of 14-membered macrolides.

Design, synthesis and structure-bactericidal activity relationships of novel 9-oxime ketolides and reductive epimers of acylides. Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2017; 27:1513-1524.

Abstract
Erythromycin was long viewed as a bacteriostatic agent. The erythromycin derivatives, 9-oxime ketolides have a species-specific bactericidal profile. Among them, the 3'-allyl version of the 9-oxime ketolide 1 (Ar=3-quinolyl; 17a) is bactericidal against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes. In contrast, the 2-fluoro analogs of 1, 13a (Ar=6-quinolyl), 13b (Ar=3-quinolyl) and 24a (Ar=4-isoquinolyl), show bactericidal activities against S. pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Moraxella catarrhalis, while the 2-fluoro analogs 13c (Ar=3-aminopyridyl) and 24b (Ar=3-carbamoylpyridyl) are only bactericidal against S. pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. Reduction of the ketolides led to novel epiacylides, the 3-O-epimers of the acylides. Alteration of linker length (30b vs. 30a), 2-fluorination (33 vs. 30a) and incorporation of additional spacers at the 9-oxime or 6-OH (35, 40 vs. 30a) did not restore the epiacylides back to be as active as the acylide 31. Molecular docking suggested that epimerization at the 3-position reshapes the orientation of the 3-O-sidechain and leads to considerably weaker binding with bacterial ribosomes.

Abstract
Using a method of static simulation, a series of erythromycin A analogs was designed with aldehyde functions introduced instead of one of the methyl substituents in the 3'-N-position of the antibiotic that was potentially capable of forming a covalent bond with an amino group of one of the nucleotide residues of the 23S rRNA in the ribosomal exit tunnel. Similar interaction is observed for antibiotics of the tylosin series, which bind tightly to the large ribosomal subunit and demonstrate high antibacterial activity. Binding of novel erythromycin derivatives with the bacterial ribosome was investigated with the method of fluorescence polarization. It was found that the erythromycin analog containing a 1-methyl-3-oxopropyl group in the 3'-N-position demonstrates the best binding. Based on the ability to inhibit protein biosynthesis, it is on the same level as erythromycin, and it is significantly better than desmethyl-erythromycin. Molecular dynamic modeling of complexes of the derivatives with ribosomes was conducted to explain the observed effects.

Abstract
Macrolides are an important class of antibiotics that target the bacterial ribosome. Computer simulations of macrolides are limited as specific force field parameters have not been previously developed for them. Here, we determine CHARMM-compatible force field parameters for erythromycin, azithromycin, and telithromycin, using the force field toolkit (ffTK) plugin in VMD. Because of their large size, novel approaches for parametrizing them had to be developed. Two methods for determining partial atomic charges, from interactions with TIP3P water and from the electrostatic potential, as well as several approaches for fitting the dihedral parameters were tested. The performance of the different parameter sets was evaluated by molecular dynamics simulations of the macrolides in ribosome, with a distinct improvement in maintenance of key interactions observed after refinement of the initial parameters. Based on the results of the macrolide tests, recommended procedures for parametrizing very large molecules using ffTK are given.

Abstract
The electronic structure of erythromycin A (ERYMA) molecule has been studied by UV photoelectron spectroscopy and assigned (in the low ionization energy region only) by empirical arguments. The two orbitals with highest energy (lowest ionization energy) are localized on the nitrogen of the desosamine sugar functional group and on the ester group of macrolide (lactone) ring. We discuss how these orbital energies can help to rationalize the known mode of binding of ERYMA to their biological receptors.

Abstract
Resistance to macrolide antibiotics is conferred by mutation of A2058 to G or methylation by Erm methyltransferases of the exocyclic N6 of A2058 (E. coli numbering) that forms the macrolide binding site in the 50S subunit of the ribosome. Ketolides such as telithromycin mitigate A2058G resistance yet remain susceptible to Erm-based resistance. Molecular details associated with macrolide resistance due to the A2058G mutation and methylation at N6 of A2058 by Erm methyltransferases were investigated using empirical force field-based simulations. To address the buried nature of the macrolide binding site, the number of waters within the pocket was allowed to fluctuate via the use of a Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) methodology. The GCMC water insertion/deletion steps were alternated with Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations to allow for relaxation of the entire system. From this GCMC/MD approach information on the interactions between telithromycin and the 50S ribosome was obtained. In the wild-type (WT) ribosome, the 2'-OH to A2058 N1 hydrogen bond samples short distances with a higher probability, while the effectiveness of telithromycin against the A2058G mutation is explained by a rearrangement of the hydrogen bonding pattern of the 2'-OH to 2058 that maintains the overall antibiotic-ribosome interactions. In both the WT and A2058G mutation there is significant flexibility in telithromycin's imidazole-pyridine side chain (ARM), indicating that entropic effects contribute to the binding affinity. Methylated ribosomes show lower sampling of short 2'-OH to 2058 distances and also demonstrate enhanced G2057-A2058 stacking leading to disrupted A752-U2609 Watson-Crick (WC) interactions as well as hydrogen bonding between telithromycin's ARM and U2609. This information will be of utility in the rational design of novel macrolide analogs with improved activity against methylated A2058 ribosomes.

Abstract
Deciphering the biological and clinical significance of the proteins is investigated by mass spectrometry in a relatively new field, named proteomics. Mass spectrometry is, however, also used in chemistry for many years. In this Research Front we try to show the potential use of mass spectrometry in chemical, environmental and biomedical research and also to illustrate the applications of mass spectrometry in proteomics.
