With the rise in resistance to antibiotics such as methicillin, there is a need for new drugs. The invention provides small molecules that inhibit cellular drug targets such as UPPS and FPPS by interacting with binding pockets, thereby preventing enzyme function. Compounds described herein are also active against
Staphylococcus aureus
(MIC90˜0.25 μg/mL), can potently synergize with methicillin (fractional inhibitory concentration index=0.25), and are protective in a mouse infection model. The invention therefore provides numerous compounds for anti-bacterial treatments and for restoring sensitivity to drugs such as methicillin, using combination therapies.
随着对甲氧西林等抗生素的耐药性增加,需要新的药物。本发明提供了能够通过与结合口袋相互作用来抑制细胞药物靶点(如UPPS和FPPS)的小分子,从而防止酶功能的药物。本文所描述的化合物也对金黄色葡萄球菌(MIC90˜0.25 μg/mL)具有活性,能够与甲氧西林强烈协同作用(分数抑制浓度指数=0.25),并在小鼠感染模型中具有保护作用。因此,本发明提供了许多用于抗菌治疗和通过联合疗法恢复对甲氧西林等药物的敏感性的化合物。
