RESUMO
The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram negative bacteria presents a serious threat for public health. Novel antimicrobials that could overcome the resistance problems are urgently needed. UDP-3-O-(R-3-hydroxymyristol)-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase (LpxC) is a cytosolic zinc-based deacetylase that catalyzes the first committed step in the biosynthesis of lipid A, which is essential for the survival of Gram-negative bacteria. Our efforts toward the discovery of novel LpxC inhibitors are presented herein.

The ATPase subunit of DNA gyrase B is an attractive antibacterial target due to high conservation across bacteria and the essential role it plays in DNA replication. A novel class of pyrazolopyridone inhibitors was discovered by optimizing a fragment screening hit scaffold using structure guided design. These inhibitors show potent Gram-positive antibacterial activity and low resistance incidence against clinically important pathogens.
RESUMO
The emergence and spread of multidrug resistant bacteria are widely believed to endanger human health. New drug targets and lead compounds exempt from cross-resistance with existing drugs are urgently needed. We report on the discovery of azaindole ureas as a novel class of bacterial gyrase B inhibitors and detail the story of their evolution from a de novo design hit based on structure-based drug design. These inhibitors show potent minimum inhibitory concentrations against fluoroquinolone resistant MRSA and other Gram-positive bacteria.

Antibacterials with a novel mechanism of action offer a great opportunity to combat widespread antimicrobial resistance. Bacterial DNA Gyrase is a clinically validated target. Through physiochemical property optimization of a pyrazolopyridone hit, a novel class of GyrB inhibitors were discovered. Guided by structure-based drug design, indazole derivatives with excellent enzymatic and antibacterial activity as well as great animal efficacy were discovered.
