Structural highlights
FunctionLPXC_PSEAE Involved in the biosynthesis of lipid A, a phosphorylated glycolipid that anchors the lipopolysaccharide to the outer membrane of the cell. Publication Abstract from PubMedLpxC is a Zn2+ deacetylase that is essential for the survival of most pathogenic Gram(-) bacteria. ACHN-975 (N-((S)-3-amino-1-(hydroxyamino)-3-methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-4-(((1R,2R)-2-(hydroxy methyl)cyclopropyl)buta-1,3-diyn-1-yl)benzamide) was the first LpxC inhibitor to reach human clinical testing and was discovered to have a dose-limiting cardiovascular toxicity of transient hypotension without compensatory tachycardia. We report here the effort beyond ACHN-975 to discover LpxC inhibitors optimized for enzyme potency, antibacterial activity, pharmacokinetics, and cardiovascular safety. Based on overall profile, 26 (LPXC-516, (S)-N-(2-(hydroxyamino)-1-(3-methoxy-1,1-dioxidothietan-3-yl)-2-oxoethyl)-4-(6-hy droxyhexa-1,3-diyn-1-yl)benzamide) was chosen for further development. A phosphate prodrug of 26 was developed that provided solubility of >30 mg/mL for parenteral administration and conversion to the active drug with a T1/2 of approximately 2 minutes. Unexpectedly, and despite our optimization efforts, the prodrug of 26 still possesses a therapeutic window insufficient to support further clinical development. -Optimization of LpxC Inhibitors for Antibacterial Activity and Cardiovascular Safety.,Cohen F, Aggen JB, Andrews LD, Assar Z, Boggs J, Choi T, Dozzo P, Easterday AN, Haglund CM, Hildebrandt DJ, Holt MC, Joly K, Jubb A, Kamal Z, Kane TR, Konradi AW, Krause KM, Linsell MS, Machajewski TD, Miroshnikova O, Moser HE, Nieto V, Phan T, Plato C, Serio AW, Seroogy J, Shakhmin A, Stein AJ, Sun AD, Sviridov S, Wang Z, Wlasichuk K, Yang W, Zhou X, Zhu H, Cirz RT ChemMedChem. 2019 Jul 8. doi: 10.1002/cmdc.201900287.
