Exploitation of Antibiotic Resistance as a Novel Drug Target: Development of a β-Lactamase-Activated Antibacterial Prodrug
摘要:
Expression of beta-lactamase is the single most prevalent determinant of antibiotic resistance, rendering bacteria resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics. In this article, we describe the development of an antibiotic prodrug that combines ciprofloxacin with a beta-lactamase-cleavable motif. The prodrug is only bactericidal after activation by beta-lactamase. Bactericidal activity comparable to ciprofloxacin is demonstrated against clinically relevant E. coli isolates expressing diverse beta-lactamases; bactericidal activity was not observed in strains without beta-lactamase. These findings demonstrate that it is possible to exploit antibiotic resistance to selectively target beta-lactamase-producing bacteria using our prodrug approach, without adversely affecting bacteria that do not produce beta-lactamase. This paves the way for selective targeting of drug-resistant pathogens without disrupting or selecting for resistance within the microbiota, reducing the rate of secondary infections and subsequent antibiotic use.

The present disclosure relates to the use of an amino acid dehydrogenase in combination with a cofactor regenerating system comprising a ketoreductase. In particular embodiments, the process can be used to prepare L-tert-leucine using a leucine dehydrogenase.
Kinetic resolutions of racemic amines and alcohols catalyzed by an industrial glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid acylase with unexpected broad substrate specificity
An industrial glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid acylase (GAR) possesses a significant broad substrate specificity that crosses over the usual cephalosporanic skeleton. Enantioselective amidase and even esterase activities have been observed with all the glutarates of racemic substrates investigated, with a stereopreference for the (S)-enantiomer. The different physical-chemical properties of reagents and products allow their easy separation by solvent extraction, avoiding cumbersome chromatography or distillation processes during reaction work-up.
