Abstract
Some antibiotics that are frequently employed are β-lactams. In light of the hydrolytic process of β-lactamase, found in Gram-negative bacteria, inhibitors of β-lactamase (BLIs) have been produced. Examples of first-generation β-lactamase inhibitors include sulbactam, clavulanic acid, and tazobactam. Many kinds of bacteria immune to inhibitors have appeared, and none cover all the β-lactamase classes. Various methods have been utilized to develop second-generation β-lactamase inhibitors possessing new structures and facilitate the formation of diazabicyclooctane (DBO), cyclic boronate, metallo-, and dual-nature β-lactamase inhibitors. This review describes numerous promising second-generation β-lactamase inhibitors, including vaborbactam, avibactam, and cyclic boronate serine-β-lactamase inhibitors. Furthermore, it covers developments and methods for synthesizing MβL (metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors), which are clinically effective, as well as the various dual-nature-based inhibitors of β-lactamases that have been developed. Several combinations are still only used in preclinical or clinical research, although only a few are currently used in clinics. This review comprises materials on the research progress of BLIs over the last five years. It highlights the ongoing need to produce new and unique BLIs to counter the appearance of multidrug-resistant bacteria. At present, second-generation BLIs represent an efficient and successful strategy.

Abstract
Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) contribute to the resistance of Gram-negative bacteria to carbapenems, last-resort antibiotics at hospital, and MBL inhibitors are urgently needed to preserve these important antibacterial drugs. Here, we describe a series of 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione-based inhibitors displaying an α-amino acid substituent, which amine was mono- or disubstituted by (hetero)aryl groups. Compounds disubstituted by certain nitrogen-containing heterocycles showed submicromolar activities against VIM-type enzymes and strong NDM-1 inhibition (Ki = 10-30 nM). Equilibrium dialysis, native mass spectrometry, isothermal calorimetry (ITC), and X-ray crystallography showed that the compounds inhibited both VIM-2 and NDM-1 at least partially by stripping the catalytic zinc ions. These inhibitors also displayed a very potent synergistic activity with meropenem (16- to 1000-fold minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) reduction) against VIM-type- and NDM-1-producing ultraresistant clinical isolates, including Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Furthermore, selected compounds exhibited no or moderate toxicity toward HeLa cells, favorable absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion (ADME) properties, and no or modest inhibition of several mammalian metalloenzymes.

Abstract
Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) represent an increasingly serious threat to public health because of their increased prevalence worldwide in relevant opportunistic Gram-negative pathogens. MBLs efficiently inactivate widely used and most valuable β-lactam antibiotics, such as oxyiminocephalosporins (ceftriaxone, ceftazidime) and the last-resort carbapenems. To date, no MBL inhibitor has been approved for therapeutic applications. We are developing inhibitors characterized by a 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione scaffold as an original zinc ligand and few promising series were already reported. Here, we present the synthesis and evaluation of a new series of compounds characterized by the presence of an arylalkyl substituent at position 4 of the triazole ring. The alkyl link was mainly an ethylene, but a few compounds without alkyl or with an alkyl group of various lengths up to a butyl chain were also synthesized. Some compounds in both sub-series were micromolar to submicromolar inhibitors of tested VIM-type MBLs. A few of them were broad-spectrum inhibitors, as they showed significant inhibitory activity on NDM-1 and, to a lesser extent, IMP-1. Among these, several inhibitors were able to significantly reduce the meropenem MIC on VIM-1- and VIM-4- producing clinical isolates by up to 16-fold. In addition, ACE inhibition was absent or moderate and one promising compound did not show toxicity toward HeLa cells at concentrations up to 250 μM. This series represents a promising basis for further exploration. Finally, molecular modelling of representative compounds in complex with VIM-2 was performed to study their binding mode.

Abstract
Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are increasingly involved as a major mechanism of resistance to carbapenems in relevant opportunistic Gram-negative pathogens. Unfortunately, clinically efficient MBL inhibitors still represent an unmet medical need . We previously reported several series of compounds based on the 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione scaffold. In particular, Schiff bases formed between diversely 5-substituted-4-amino compounds and 2-carboxybenzaldehyde were broad-spectrum inhibitors of VIM-type, NDM-1 and IMP-1 MBLs. Unfortunately, they were unable to restore antibiotic susceptibility of MBL-producing bacteria, probably because of poor penetration and/or susceptibility to hydrolysis. To improve their microbiological activity, we developed compounds where the hydrazone-like bond of the Schiff bases was replaced by a stable ethyl link. This small change resulted in a narrower inhibition spectrum, as all compounds were poorly or not inhibiting NDM-1 and IMP-1, but some showed a significantly better activity on VIM-type enzymes, with K i values in the μM to sub-μM range. The resolution of the crystallographic structure of VIM-2 in complex with one inhibitor yielded valuable information about their binding mode. Interestingly, several compounds were shown to restore the β-lactam susceptibility of K. pneumoniae clinical isolates. In addition, selected compounds were found to be devoid of toxicity toward human cells at high concentration, thus showing promising safety.

Antimycobacterial and anti-inflammatory activities of thiourea derivatives focusing on treatment approaches for severe pulmonary tuberculosis. Bioorg Med Chem 2022; 53:116506. [PMID: 34890996 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2021.116506] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Revised: 11/01/2021] [Accepted: 11/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a serious public health problem and one of the main concern is the emergence of multidrug-resistant and extensively resistant TB. Hyper-reactive patients develop inflammatory necrotic lung lesions that aggravate the pathology and facilitate transmission of mycobacteria. Treatment of severe TB is a major clinical challenge that has few effective solutions and patients face a poor prognosis, years of treatment and different adverse drug reactions. In this work, fifteen novel and thirty-one unusual thiourea derivatives were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their antimycobacterial and anti-inflammatory potential and, in silico for ADMET parameters and for structure-activity relationship (SAR). Thioureas derivatives 10, 15, 16, 28 and 29 that had shown low cytotoxicity and high activities were selected for further investigation, after SAR study. These five thioureas derivatives inhibited Mtb H37Rv growth in bacterial culture and in infected macrophages, highlighting thiourea derivative 28 (MIC50 2.0 ± 1.1 and 2.3 ± 1.1 µM, respectively). Moreover, these compounds were active against the hypervirulent clinical Mtb strain M299, in bacterial culture, especially 16, 28 and 29, and in extracellular clumps, highlighting 29, with MIC50 5.6 ± 1.2 µM. Regarding inflammation, they inhibited NO through the suppression of iNOS expression, and also inhibited the production of TNF-α and IL-1β. In silico studies were carried out suggesting that these five compounds could be administered by oral route and have low toxicological effects when compared to rifampicin. In conclusion, our data show that, at least, thiourea derivatives 16, 28 and 29 are promising antimycobacterial and anti-inflammatory agents, and candidates for further prospective studies aiming new anti-TB drugs, that can be used on a dual approach for the treatment of severe TB cases associated with exacerbated inflammation.

1,2,4-Triazole-3-thione compounds with a 4-ethyl alkyl/aryl sulfide substituent are broad-spectrum metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors with re-sensitization activity. Eur J Med Chem 2021; 226:113873.

Abstract
Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are important contributors of Gram-negative bacteria resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. MBLs are highly worrying because of their carbapenemase activity, their rapid spread in major human opportunistic pathogens while no clinically useful inhibitor is available yet. In this context, we are exploring the potential of compounds based on the 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione scaffold as an original ligand of the di-zinc active sites of MBLs, and diversely substituted at its positions 4 and 5. Here, we present a new series of compounds substituted at the 4-position by a thioether-containing alkyl chain with a carboxylic and/or an aryl group at its extremity. Several compounds showed broad-spectrum inhibition with Ki values in the μM to sub-μM range against VIM-type enzymes, NDM-1 and IMP-1. The presence of the sulfur and of the aryl group was important for the inhibitory activity and the binding mode of a few compounds in VIM-2 was revealed by X-ray crystallography. Importantly, in vitro antibacterial susceptibility assays showed that several inhibitors were able to potentiate the activity of meropenem on Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates producing VIM-1 or VIM-4, with a potentiation effect of up to 16-fold. Finally, a selected compound was found to only moderately inhibit the di-zinc human glyoxalase II, and several showed no or only moderate toxicity toward several human cells, thus favourably completing a promising behaviour.

Abstract
In Gram-negative bacteria, the major mechanism of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics is the production of one or several β-lactamases (BLs), including the highly worrying carbapenemases. Whereas inhibitors of these enzymes were recently marketed, they only target serine-carbapenemases (e.g. KPC-type), and no clinically useful inhibitor is available yet to neutralize the class of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs). We are developing compounds based on the 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione scaffold, which binds to the di-zinc catalytic site of MBLs in an original fashion, and we previously reported its promising potential to yield broad-spectrum inhibitors. However, up to now only moderate antibiotic potentiation could be observed in microbiological assays and further exploration was needed to improve outer membrane penetration. Here, we synthesized and characterized a series of compounds possessing a diversely functionalized alkyl chain at the 4-position of the heterocycle. We found that the presence of a carboxylic group at the extremity of an alkyl chain yielded potent inhibitors of VIM-type enzymes with Ki values in the μM to sub-μM range, and that this alkyl chain had to be longer or equal to a propyl chain. This result confirmed the importance of a carboxylic function on the 4-substituent of 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione heterocycle. As observed in previous series, active compounds also preferentially contained phenyl, 2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl, naphth-2-yl or m-biphenyl at position 5. However, none efficiently inhibited NDM-1 or IMP-1. Microbiological study on VIM-2-producing E. coli strains and on VIM-1/VIM-4-producing multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae clinical isolates gave promising results, suggesting that the 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione scaffold worth continuing exploration to further improve penetration. Finally, docking experiments were performed to study the binding mode of alkanoic analogues in the active site of VIM-2.

Abstract
We report herein the discovery of 3,5-dinitrophenyl 1,2,4-triazoles with excellent and selective antimycobacterial activities against Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, including clinically isolated multidrug-resistant strains. Thorough structure-activity relationship studies of 3,5-dinitrophenyl-containing 1,2,4-triazoles and their trifluoromethyl analogues revealed the key role of the position of the 3,5-dinitrophenyl fragment in the antitubercular efficiency. Among the prepared compounds, the highest in vitro antimycobacterial activities against M. tuberculosis H37Rv and against seven clinically isolated multidrug-resistant strains of M. tuberculosis were found with S-substituted 4-alkyl-5-(3,5-dinitrophenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols and their 3-nitro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl analogues. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of these compounds reached 0.03 μM, which is superior to all the current first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. Furthermore, almost all compounds with excellent antimycobacterial activities exhibited very low in vitro cytotoxicities against two proliferating mammalian cell lines. The docking study indicated that these compounds acted as the inhibitors of decaprenylphosphoryl-β-d-ribofuranose 2'-oxidase enzyme, which was experimentally confirmed by two independent radiolabeling experiments.

Abstract
Replication Protein A (RPA) is a ssDNA binding protein that is essential for DNA replication and repair. The initiation of the DNA damage response by RPA is mediated by protein-protein interactions involving the N-terminal domain of the 70 kDa subunit with partner proteins. Inhibition of these interactions increases sensitivity towards DNA damage and replication stress and may therefore be a potential strategy for cancer drug discovery. Towards this end, we have discovered two lead series of compounds, derived from hits obtained from a fragment-based screen, that bind to RPA70N with low micromolar affinity and inhibit the binding of an ATRIP-derived peptide to RPA. These compounds may offer a promising starting point for the discovery of clinically useful RPA inhibitors.
