Structure-Kinetic Relationship Studies for the Development of Long Residence Time LpxC Inhibitors
JOURNAL OF MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY(2022)
Abstract
UDP-3-O-(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase (LpxC) is a promising drug target in Gram-negative bacteria. Previously, we described a correlation between the residence time of inhibitors on Pseudomonas aeruginosa LpxC (paLpxC) and the post-antibiotic effect (PAE) caused by the inhibitors on the growth of P. aeruginosa. Given that drugs with prolonged activity following compound removal may have advantages in dosing regimens, we have explored the structure-kinetic relationship for paLpxC inhibition by analogues of the pyridone methylsulfone PF5081090 (1) originally developed by Pfizer. Several analogues have longer residence times on paLpxC than 1 (41 min) including PT913, which has a residence time of 124 min. PT913 also has a PAE of 4 h, extending the original correlation observed between residence time and PAE. Collectively, the studies provide a platform for the rational modulation of paLpxC inhibitor residence time and the potential development of antibacterial agents that cause prolonged suppression of bacterial growth.
