FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedbeta-Lactamase enzymes hydrolyze and thereby provide bacterial resistance to the important beta-lactam class of antibiotics. The OXA-48 and NDM-1 beta-lactamases cause resistance to the last-resort beta-lactams, carbapenems, leading to a serious public health threat. Here, we utilized DNA-encoded chemical library (DECL) technology to discover novel beta-lactamase inhibitors. We exploited the beta-lactamase enzyme-substrate binding interactions and created a DECL targeting the carboxylate-binding pocket present in all beta-lactamases. A library of 10(6) compounds, each containing a carboxylic acid or a tetrazole as an enzyme recognition element, was designed, constructed, and used to identify OXA-48 and NDM-1 inhibitors with micromolar to nanomolar potency. Further optimization led to NDM-1 inhibitors with increased potencies and biological activities. This work demonstrates that the carboxylate-binding pocket-targeting DECL, designed based on substrate binding information, aids in inhibitor identification and led to the discovery of novel non-beta-lactam pharmacophores for the development of beta-lactamase inhibitors for enzymes of different structural and mechanistic classes.
