The rise of antibiotic resistance, especially in Staphylococcus aureus, and the increasing death rate due to multiresistant bacteria have been well documented. The need for new chemical entities and/or the identification of novel targets for antibacterial drug development is high. Lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a membrane-attached anionic polymer, is important for the growth and virulence of many Gram-positive
抗生素耐药性的上升,特别是在金黄色葡萄球菌中,以及由于多重耐药细菌导致的死亡率增加已得到了充分的证明。对新的化学实体和/或鉴定用于抗菌药物开发的新靶标的需求很高。脂磷壁酸(LTA)是一种附着在膜上的阴离子聚合物,对许多革兰氏阳性细菌的生长和毒力很重要,人们对LTA生物合成抑制剂的发现也很感兴趣。迄今为止,仅描述了少数LTA生物合成抑制剂对金黄色葡萄球菌具有中等(MIC = 5.34μgmL-1)到低(MIC = 1024μgmL-1)的活性。在本文中,我们描述了有效抑制金黄色葡萄球菌LTA生物合成,表现出令人印象深刻的抗菌活性(MIC低至0的新化合物)的鉴定。25μgmL-1)的耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)。在类似的体外测定条件下,这些化合物的抗MRSA活性比万古霉素高4倍,比利奈唑胺高8倍。
