AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

These compounds effectively inhibit Lpd and PDH activity, providing a new therapeutic avenue for treating tuberculosis and associated conditions by targeting essential pathways of the tubercle bacillus, potentially overcoming antibiotic resistance.

Problems solved by technology

Treatment is difficult and requires long courses of multiple antibiotics.
As a result, antibiotic resistance to this antibiotic regimen is a growing problem.

[0313]In order that the invention described herein may be more fully understood, the following examples are set forth. It should be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting this invention in any manner.

Biological Assays

Lipoamide Dehydrogenase (Lpd) Inhibition Assay

[0314]The assay was performed in a manner similar to that described in Bryk et al., Biochemistry (2010) 49:1616-1627 and modified for an online robotics screening system.

[0315]A solution containing Lpd (100 nM) and 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) was prepared. Another solution containing the substrate lipoamide (2 mM), 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), EDTA (4 mM), and NADH (200 μM) was also prepared. The detection reagent, DTNB was dissolved in DMSO and diluted to a concentration of 375 μM with a 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0).

[0316]4 μL / well of Lpd solution was dispensed into 1536-well clear bottom plates. Next, 50 nL of each test co...

Abstract

The present invention provides compounds which are potent inhibitors against Lpd activity, PDH activity, and / or the growth of tubercle bacillus, and thus are useful in the treatment of tuberculosis infection and associated conditions. The present invention is further directed to in vitro- and in vzivo-based methods of inhibiting Lpd and / or PDH activity. In certain embodiments, these methods are useful in inhibiting Lpd and / or PDH activity key to a pathogen's survival.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Tuberculosis (TB, tubercle bacillus) is a common and in many cases lethal infectious disease caused by various strains of mycobacteria, usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Typical symptoms include cough accompanied by blood, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Tuberculosis usually attacks the lungs (“pulmonary tuberculosis”) but can also affect other parts of the body. Infection of other organs, collectively denoted extrapulmonary tuberculosis, causes a wide range of symptoms. Extrapulmonary infection sites include the pleura in tuberculous pleurisy, the central nervous system in meningitis, the lymphatic system in scrofula of the neck, the genitourinary system in urogenital tuberculosis, and bones and joints in Pott's disease of the spine. An especially serious form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis is disseminated tuberculosis, more commonly known as miliary tuberculosis. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis may co-exist with pulmonary tuberculosis.[00...
