FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedThe major cause of bacterial resistance to beta-lactams is the production of hydrolytic beta-lactamase enzymes. Nowadays, the combination of beta-lactam antibiotics with beta-lactamase inhibitors (BLIs) is the main strategy for overcoming such issues. Nevertheless, particularly challenging beta-lactamases, such as OXA-48, pose the need for novel and effective treatments. Herein, we describe the screening of a proprietary compound collection against Klebsiella pneumoniae OXA-48, leading to the identification of several chemotypes, like the 4-ideneamino-4H-1,2,4-triazole (SC_2) and pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine (SC_7) cores as potential inhibitors. Importantly, the most potent representative of the latter series (ID2, AC50 = 0.99 muM) inhibited OXA-48 via a reversible and competitive mechanism of action, as demonstrated by biochemical and X-ray studies; furthermore, it slightly improved imipenem's activity in Escherichia coli ATCC BAA-2523 beta-lactam resistant strain. Also, ID2 showed good solubility and no sign of toxicity up to the highest tested concentration, resulting in a promising starting point for further optimization programs toward novel and effective non-beta-lactam BLIs.
