Discovery and development of substituted thiadiazoles as inhibitors of Staphylococcus aureus Sortase A
摘要:
High-throughput screening of small-molecule libraries has led to the identification of thiadiazoles as a new class of inhibitors against Staphylococcus aureus sortase A (SrtA). N-(5-((4-nitrobenzyl) thio)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)nicotinamide (IC50= 3.8 mu M) was identified as a potent inhibitor of SrtA after synthetic modification of hit compounds. Additional ligands developed in this study displayed affinities in the low micromolar range without affecting bacterial growth in vitro. The study also suggest a new mode of action through covalent binding to the active site cysteine.
previously identified dual Src/Abl hits, a new series of 1,3,4‐thiadiazoles and 1,3‐thiazoles were designed and synthesized, paying particular attention to the reduction of their lipophilicity and to the improvement of the affinity towards the drug‐resistant T315Imutant. Compound 5 was identified as a promising allosteric inhibitor of the T315Imutant.
