Identification of novel 4-substituted 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives as new FtsZ inhibitors: Bioactivity evaluation and computational simulation. Bioorg Chem 2024; 150:107534. [PMID: 38896935 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2024] [Revised: 06/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Bacterial infections and the consequent outburst of bactericide-resistance issues are fatal menace to both global health and agricultural produce. Hence, it is crucial to explore candidate bactericides with new mechanisms of action. The filamenting temperature-sensitive mutant Z (FtsZ) protein has been recognized as a new promising and effective target for new bactericide discovery. Hence, using a scaffold-hopping strategy, we designed new 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives, evaluated their antibacterial activities, and investigated their structure-activity relationships. Among them, compound B6 exhibited the optimal in vitro bioactivity (EC50 = 4.65 µg/mL) against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), which was superior to the references (bismerthiazol [BT], EC50 = 48.67 µg/mL; thiodiazole copper [TC], EC50 = 98.57 µg/mL]. Furthermore, the potency of compound B6 in targeting FtsZ was validated by GTPase activity assay, FtsZ self-assembly observation, fluorescence titration, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) assay, molecular dynamics simulations, and morphological observation. The GTPase activity assay showed that the final IC50 value of compound B6 against XooFtsZ was 235.0 μM. Interestingly, the GTPase activity results indicated that the B6-XooFtsZ complex has an excellent binding constant (KA = 103.24 M-1). Overall, the antibacterial behavior suggests that B6 can interact with XooFtsZ and inhibit its GTPase activity, leading to bacterial cell elongation and even death. In addition, compound B6 showed acceptable anti-Xoo activity in vivo and low toxicity, and also demonstrated a favorable pharmacokinetic profile predicted by ADMET analysis. Our findings provide new chemotypes for the development of FtsZ inhibitors as well as insights into their underlying mechanisms of action.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129255. [PMID: 38199552 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 01/01/2024] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
Several harmful bacteria have evolved resistance to conventional antibiotics due to their extensive usage. FtsZ, a principal bacterial cell division protein, is considered as an important drug target to combat resistance. We identified a caffeoyl anilide derivative, (E)-N-(4-(3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acryloyl)phenyl)-1-adamantylamide (compound 11) as a new antimicrobial agent targeting FtsZ. Compound 11 caused cell elongation in Mycobacterium smegmatis, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli cells, indicating that it inhibits cell partitioning. Compound 11 inhibited the assembly of Mycobacterium smegmatis FtsZ (MsFtsZ), forming short and thin filaments in vitro. Interestingly, the compound increased the rate of GTP hydrolysis of MsFtsZ. Compound 11 also impeded the assembly of Mycobacterium tuberculosis FtsZ. Fluorescence and absorption spectroscopic analysis suggested that compound 11 binds to MsFtsZ and produces conformational changes in FtsZ. The docking analysis indicated that the compound binds at the interdomain cleft of MsFtsZ. Further, it caused delocalization of the Z-ring in Mycobacterium smegmatis and Bacillus subtilis without affecting DNA segregation. Notably, compound 11 did not inhibit tubulin polymerization, the eukaryotic homolog of FtsZ, suggesting its specificity on bacteria. The evidence indicated that compound 11 exerts its antibacterial effect by impeding FtsZ assembly and has the potential to be developed as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent.

Mycobacterial FtsZ and inhibitors: a promising target for the anti-tubercular drug development. Mol Divers 2023:10.1007/s11030-023-10759-8. [PMID: 38010605 DOI: 10.1007/s11030-023-10759-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
The emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) strains has rendered many anti-TB drugs ineffective. Consequently, there is an urgent need to identify new drug targets against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Filament Forming Temperature Sensitive Gene Z (FtsZ), a member of the cytoskeletal protein family, plays a vital role in cell division by forming a cytokinetic ring at the cell's center and coordinating the division machinery. When FtsZ is depleted, cells are unable to divide and instead elongate into filamentous structures that eventually undergo lysis. Since the inactivation of FtsZ or alterations in its assembly impede the formation of the Z-ring and septum, FtsZ shows promise as a target for the development of anti-mycobacterial drugs. This review not only discusses the potential role of FtsZ as a promising pharmacological target for anti-tuberculosis therapies but also explores the structural and functional aspects of the mycobacterial protein FtsZ in cell division. Additionally, it reviews various inhibitors of Mtb FtsZ. By understanding the importance of FtsZ in cell division, researchers can explore strategies to disrupt its function, impeding the growth and proliferation of Mtb. Furthermore, the investigation of different inhibitors that target Mtb FtsZ expands the potential for developing effective treatments against tuberculosis.

Identification of anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis agents targeting the interaction of bacterial division proteins FtsZ and SepF. Acta Pharm Sin B 2023; 13:2056-2070.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the deadly diseases caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which presents a significant public health challenge. Treatment of TB relies on the combination of several anti-TB drugs to create shorter and safer regimens. Therefore, new anti-TB agents working by different mechanisms are urgently needed. FtsZ, a tubulin-like protein with GTPase activity, forms a dynamic Z-ring in cell division. Most of FtsZ inhibitors are designed to inhibit GTPase activity. In Mtb, the function of Z-ring is modulated by SepF, a FtsZ binding protein. The FtsZ/SepF interaction is essential for FtsZ bundling and localization at the site of division. Here, we established a yeast two-hybrid based screening system to identify inhibitors of FtsZ/SepF interaction in M. tuberculosis. Using this system, we found compound T0349 showing strong anti-Mtb activity but with low toxicity to other bacteria strains and mice. Moreover, we have demonstrated that T0349 binds specifically to SepF to block FtsZ/SepF interaction by GST pull-down, fluorescence polarization (FP), surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and CRISPRi knockdown assays. Furthermore, T0349 can inhibit bacterial cell division by inducing filamentation and abnormal septum. Our data demonstrated that FtsZ/SepF interaction is a promising anti-TB drug target for identifying agents with novel mechanisms.

Abstract
Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab) is a highly drug-resistant non-tuberculous mycobacterial species that causes debilitating TB-like pulmonary infections. The lack of genetic tools has hampered characterization of its extensive repertoire of virulence factors, antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, and drug targets. In this study, we evaluated the performance of a mycobacterial single plasmid CRISPRi-dCas9 system optimized for M. tuberculosis and M. smegmatis for inducible gene silencing in Mab. The efficacy of CRISPRi-mediated repression of two antibiotic resistance genes (blaMab, whiB7Mab) and two putative essential genes (ftsZMab,topAMab) was determined by measuring mRNA transcript levels and phenotypic outcomes. While our results support the utility of this mycobacterial CRISPRi dCas9Sth1 single-plasmid platform for inducible silencing of specific target genes in Mab, they also highlighted several caveats and nuances that may warrant species-specific optimization for Mab. We observed overall lower levels of gene repression in Mab including variable silencing of different target genes despite use of PAMs of similar predicted strength. In addition, leaky gene repression in the absence of inducer was noted for some genes but not others. Nonetheless, using CRISPRi we demonstrated the silencing of multiple target genes and validated ftsZMab as an essential gene and promising drug target for the first time.

Abstract
The latest WHO report estimates about 1.6 million global deaths annually from TB, which is further exacerbated by drug-resistant (DR) TB and comorbidities with diabetes and HIV. Exiguous dosing, incomplete treatment course, and the ability of the tuberculosis bacilli to tolerate and survive current first-line and second-line anti-TB drugs, in either their latent state or active state, has resulted in an increased prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and totally drug-resistant TB (TDR-TB). Although a better understanding of the TB microanatomy, genome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome, has resulted in the discovery of a few novel promising anti-TB drug targets and diagnostic biomarkers of late, no new anti-TB drug candidates have been approved for routine therapy in over 50 years, with only bedaquiline, delamanid, and pretomanid recently receiving tentative regulatory approval. Considering this, alternative approaches for identifying possible new anti-TB drug candidates, for effectively eradicating both replicating and non-replicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis, are still urgently required. Subsequently, several antibiotic and non-antibiotic drugs with known treatment indications (TB targeted and non-TB targeted) are now being repurposed and/or derivatized as novel antibiotics for possible use in TB therapy. Insights gathered here reveal that more studies focused on drug-drug interactions between licensed and potential lead anti-TB drug candidates need to be prioritized. This write-up encapsulates the most recent findings regarding investigational compounds with promising anti-TB potential and drugs with repurposing potential in TB therapy.

Abstract
Cytoskeletons have long been perceived to be present only in eukaryotes. However, this notion changed drastically in the 1990s, with observations of cytoskeleton-like structures in several prokaryotes. Homologs of the main components of eukaryotic cytoskeletons, such as microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments, have been identified in bacteria and archaea. Tubulin homologs include filamenting temperature-sensitive mutant Z (FtsZ), bacterial tubulin A/B (BtubA/B), and tubulin/FtsZ-like protein (TubZ), whereas actin homologs comprise murein region B (MreB) and crenactin. Unlike other proteins, crescentin (CreS) is a homolog of intermediate filaments. Recent findings elucidated their localization, structural organization, and helical properties in prokaryotes, thus revising traditional models. FtsZ is involved in cell division, forming a bundle of overlapping filaments that cover the entire division plane. Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy identified tubular structures of BtubA/B that were not previously identified using conventional ultrathin plastic sections. TubZ generates two joint filaments to form a quadruplex structure. After a long debate, MreB, a cell shape determinant, was shown to form filament stretches that move circumferentially around rod-shaped bacteria. Initially characterized as single-stranded, crenactin was eventually identified as right-handed double-stranded helical filaments. CreS, another cell shape determinant, forms filament bundles located inside the inner membrane of the concave side of cells. These observations suggest that the use of in situ or ex situ microscopy in combination with structural analysis techniques will enable the elucidation and further understanding of the current models of prokaryotic cytoskeletons.
